In 1882,Emily Dickinson's brother Austin began a passionate love affair with Mabel Todd,a young Amherst faculty wife,setting in motion a series of events that would
forever change the lives of the Dickinson family.The feud that erupted as a result has continued for over a century.Lyndall Gordon, an award-winning biographer,tells the riveting story of the Dickinsons
and reveals Emily to be a very different woman from the pale,
lovelorn recluse that exists in the popular imagination.Thanks to unprecedented use of letters,
diaries,and legal documents,Gordon digs deep into the life and work of Emily Dickinson to reveal the secret
behind the poet's insistent seclusion and presents a woman beyond her time who found love,
spiritual sustenance,and immortality
all on her own terms.An enthralling story of creative genius,filled with
illicit passion and betrayal that will forever change the way we view one of America's most important literary figures.The first major biography of Dickinson in nearly ten years.From the author of acclaimed biographies of T. S. Eliot,Charlotte Bronte,Virginia Woolf,Mary Wollstonecraft,and Henry James,she now turns to an ambitious and rewarding look at this magnificent poet.
