Description
Summary:Emily Dickinson continues to fascinate readers. How can librarians and all readers fail to appreciate “There is no Frigate like a Book/To take us Lands away.” A search for her in the MLA International Bibliography database finds articles in English but also French, Portuguese and Korean. Amherst College’s Emily Dickinson Collection contains over 800 items – scraps of poems, letters to friends, snippets written on torn pieces of paper and unfolded bits of envelopes. These are a treasure trove for scholars and the multitudes curious about the “Belle of Amherst.”
