The volume's original contributions are written by cutting-edge scholars and provide incisive interventions into current critical discussions as well as opening up fresh areas of critical inquiry. They feature new work being done in the critique of nineteenth-century American poetry, as well as new work being done in Dickinson studies. The" Companion" is exceptionally broad in scope, covering biographical approaches to Dickinson, the historical, political, and cultural contexts of her work, and its critical reception over the years.
