Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) wrote in 19th century American English and referenced long-vanished cultural contexts. A "private poet," she created her own vocabulary, and many of her poems have quite specific local and personal connections. Twenty-first century readers may find her poetry elusive and challenging.

Promoting a richer appreciation of Dickinson's work for a modern audience, this book explores unfamiliar aspects of her language and her world.

The late Greg Mattingly was a retired corporate education and training professional who was a guide with the Emily Dickinson Museum, in Amherst, Massachusetts, and was a contributing member of the Emily Dickinson International Society. He lived in Orange, Massachusetts.
