The Oxford Handbook of Emily Dickinson is designed to engage, inform, interest, and delight students and scholars of Emily Dickinson, of nineteenth-century US literature and cultural studies, of American poetry, and of the lyric. It also aims to establish potential agendas for future work in the field of Dickinson studies. This is the first essay collection on Dickinson to foreground the material and social culture of her time while opening new windows to interpretive possibility in ours. The collection strives to balance Dickinson’s own center of gravity in the material culture and historical context of nineteenth-century Amherst with the significance of important critical conversations of our present, thus understanding her poetry with the broadest “Latitude of Home”—as she puts it in her poem “Forever – is composed of Nows –”. Debates about the lyric, about Dickinson’s manuscripts and practices of composition, about the viability of translation across language, media, and culture, and about the politics of class, gender, place, and race circulate through this volume. These debates matter to our moment but also to our understanding of hers. Although rooted in the evolving history of Dickinson criticism, the essays in this handbook foreground truly new original research and a wide range of innovative critical methodologies, including artistic responses to her poetry by musicians, visual artists, and other poets. The suppleness and daring of Dickinson’s thought and uses of language remain open to new possibilities and meanings, even while they are grounded in contexts from over 150 years ago, and this collection seeks to express and celebrate the breadth of her accomplishments and relevance.

Reference Services Review

ISSN : 0090-7324

Article publication date: 15 August 2008

This paper aims to provide a guide to significant primary and secondary resources relevant to the study of Emily Dickinson and her poetry.

Design/methodology/approach

Online catalogs, bibliographies, and the worldwide web were searched to identify relevant items. In some cases, citation analysis and other bibliometric measures were used to determine the highest‐impact sources. Items were annotated after personal examination by the author. The paper is divided into two main sections: primary sources (anthologies, databases and web resources) and secondary sources (bibliographies, databases, biographical resources, reference resources, monographs, journals and web resources).

The paper introduces each resource, indicating its scope and contribution to the study of Dickinson. It acknowledges in particular the developments in recent Dickinson scholarship.

Originality/value

Dickinson remains popular among both scholars and laypeople, but the most recent bibliographies of Dickinson scholarship date to the late 1980s. This guide provides a late twentieth‐ to early twenty‐first‐century update to those earlier works.

Resources & Bibliography

The special collections in the Amherst College archives

T he Emily Dickinson Museum welcomes inquiries from researchers and strives to support their work. This page includes information about resources at the Museum and other Dickinson-related sites as well as information about copyright issues with Dickinson’s work, a selected bibliography, and a list of electronic resources.

• Emily Dickinson Museum Resources

Dickinson Manuscripts and Related Collections

Digital and electronic research resources, printed materials, emily dickinson museum’s resources.

Research at the Museum can be useful not only to Dickinson scholars but also to researchers interested in nineteenth-century material culture, social and cultural trends, domestic life, architecture, and decorative arts.

The Museum maintains collections of objects owned by the Dickinson family from the Homestead and Evergreens and selectively acquires a permanent collection of objects for exhibit purposes in the two houses. The large collection of approximately 8,000 objects at The Evergreens includes furnishings, decorative arts, paintings and prints, household wares, textiles, and toys. The Evergreens collection complements a much smaller collection at the Homestead. The Museum also has useful research material related to the history of the Homestead, The Evergreens, and the landscape.

Researchers wishing to use the collections of the Emily Dickinson Museum should contact the executive director at [email protected] or 413-542-2154.

The Museum does not own Dickinson manuscripts or family papers but works closely with the institutions that do. The two major repositories for Emily Dickinson’s manuscripts and family papers are Amherst College and Harvard University:

Amherst College Archives and Special Collections , Amherst, Massachusetts. The Dickinson collection documents the creative work and personal life of Emily Dickinson, spanning her lifetime, from 1830 to 1886; her family and friends; and the early publication history of her work. It also includes material from Dickinson scholars Mabel Loomis Todd, Millicent Todd Bingham, Jay Leyda, and others. The collection includes original poems, manuscripts, and letters from Dickinson to family and friends; images of the poet, including the daguerreotype and silhouette; physical artifacts related to Dickinson; manuscript transcriptions; printers’ copies and proofs; Mabel Loomis Todd’s correspondence, research indices, and writings; and material from or about Dickinson’s friends and family, including correspondence, photographs, objects, and scrapbooks.  The collection began with a gift from Millicent Todd Bingham of the Dickinson manuscripts in the possession of her mother, Mabel Loomis Todd.

Digitized Dickinson Manuscripts  available on-line:

Houghton Library, Harvard University , Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Dickinson Collection began at Harvard in 1950, the gift of Gilbert H. Montague “in happy memory” of his wife, Amy Angell Collier Montague. Montague, a distant cousin of the Dickinsons, purchased the collection from Alfred Hampson, who inherited it from Martha Dickinson Bianchi, the poet’s niece. Hampson was eager that the manuscripts be available for research at a major university, and Montague knew his alma mater would provide the proper environment to nurture the reputation of Emily Dickinson. The collection includes most of Emily Dickinson’s fascicles and a large collection of family letters as well as family photographs, books, and personal items.

• Guide to the Emily Dickinson Collection

UB English professor co-edits definitive edition of Emily Dickinson’s letters

Digitally restored black-and-white daguerrotype of Emily Dickinson, c. early 1847.

By BERT GAMBINI

Published March 26, 2024

A new edition of Emily Dickinson’s correspondence co-edited by a UB literary scholar offers a transformative portrait of the famous American poet that takes readers beyond vague notions of Dickinson’s loneliness and isolation to reveal instead an intensely interactive and deeply involved member of a community who was very much engaged with friends, family and the unfolding events of her time.

“The Letters of Emily Dickinson,” co-edited by Cristanne Miller, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Edward H. Butler Professor of English, College of Arts and Sciences, and Domhnall Mitchell, professor of 19th-century American literature at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, is the first comprehensive collection of Dickinson’s letters since Thomas H. Johnson and Theodora Ward published their edition more than 60 years ago.

The book, to be published by Harvard University Press, will be available April 2.

“Though she was reclusive in the sense that she did not visit a lot of people or leave the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, after her mid-30s, she did throughout her life reach out to a large number of people through correspondence,” says Miller. “It’s very clear from the kinds of letters she’s writing that she is not discouraging relationships at all — she’s in fact encouraging them.”

Miller says Dickinson would even reach out to people who did not immediately get back to her, asking why their response was slow in coming.

In 1869, she wrote to a friend: “A Letter always feels to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend. Indebted in our talk to attitude and accent, there seems a spectral power in thought that walks alone.”

Later, in 1885, she writes to two acquaintances that “A Letter is a joy of Earth – / It is denied the Gods –”.

The letters are gems, and their language stands both apart and alongside Dickinson’s verse, Miller says. They contribute to a fuller understanding of a personality that becomes clearer through her letters than might be the case from people reading only her poems.

“Many of her poems focus on what we might call the darker emotions of human existence. Many of the letters, in contrast, focus on consolation, hope and love,” says Miller. “Now, Dickinson is a great love poet, and the letters don’t differ in that regard from her poetry, but she writes many letters that express how deeply she cares for a wide range of friends and family members.”

For instance, Dickinson writes in April 1885 to her friend Sarah Tuckerman, “Morning without you is a dwindled Dawn.”

“What an incredible thing to write to a friend,” says Miller.

Miller and Mitchell have added 200 letter-poems to the collection. These are poems that contain an address, a signature, or both, but no supporting prose. Some letter-poems are extant only as letters, while Dickinson circulated others after, or sometimes before, she had retained copies for herself. 

This new definitive edition contains all 1,049 letters included in Johnson and Ward’s collection, restoring missing text where necessary, while adding letter-poems and recently discovered letters collected for the first time in a single edition. It presents 1,304 letters by Dickinson. It also includes all extant letters she received.

“The Letters of Emily Dickinson” assumes a different tone than its predecessor. Johnson and Ward offered speculative annotation at the end of several letters, conclusions reached at a time when there was no objective biography of Dickinson covering her entire life. The new book omits such speculation, since plenty of critical commentary on Dickinson has been published in the past 60 years.

Miller and Mitchell, however, interpret information in ways that propose new possibilities and offer insights into Dickinson’s creative process.

Many loose pages, for instance, were found with Dickinson’s poems at the time of her death. Johnson sees these as scraps, but Miller says they’re more likely writing notes, a kind of notebook kept in piecemeal form rather than ideas chronicled between a notebook’s covers.

“She was holding onto phrases, sentences and paragraphs that she thought could be used at a later time,” says Miller. “Some of that content is found in her letters. A few of the fragments were used in poems.”

While Miller has published broadly on 19th- and 20th-century poetry, she is one of the world’s foremost experts on Dickinson and has written extensively on the poet’s life and poetry, especially from the late 1850s through the 1860s, the height of her poetic production.

“That is an utterly fascinating moment in the U.S. and in Dickinson’s lifetime,” says Miller. “But editing these letters has made me equally interested in the correspondence and in the later years of her life.

“I had just not realized what an extraordinary friend the older Emily Dickinson was to so many people.”
