Emily Dickinson－Ａpoet of her own world
Part I Introduction
No greater contrast can be imagined than Emily Dickinson, whom is still considered to be our greatest and most original poets. Dickinson‘s poetry writing began in the early 1850s. Altogether, she wrote 1,775 poems, of which only seven had appeared during her lifetime. Dickinson called this stream of tiny, aphoristic poems a continuous fragmented ―letter to the world,1‖ a way to bridge her private world with the public. After her death in 1886, her sister Lavinia, empting Emily‘s desk to burn all her correspondence as Emily had specifically directed, was amazed to find almost 2000 poems neatly copied on small pieces of paper conscientious Lavinia was much distressed by her feeling that perhaps Emily had meant these also to be burnt. Fortunately she could not bring herself to destroy what her sister had evidently taken such pains to preserve. With the help of Mrs. M. L. Todd and Thomas Wentworth, the first volume of 115 poems appeared in 1890. Later, two more volumes of poetry and two volumes of letters was were published, with much more to come out in 1914, which finally made Emily Dickinson, especially her withdrawn self, known the outside world.

Her father was an important lawyer, deeply religious and universally respected as an active leader in all the town‘s civic, educational, political and church activities. Despite his orthodox Puritan beliefs he evidently had a strong unconventional sense of beauty. The story had often been told of his violently ringing in alarm. He calmly pointed to unusual display of Northern Lights, explaining that it was go exceptionally fine he wished no one to miss it! Dickinson‘s mother, Emily Norcross, was a quiet, unassuming woman. She was, in fact, best known for winning numerous cooking awards.
Her father is erudition, mother‘s diligence all played an important role during her writing, and some inspirations of her poetry actually came from her family. Part B
Emily attended the Amherst Academy where she was not only a good student but a very sociable and popular one, known for light－hearted
