About this product

Product Information

Emily Dickinson's Rich Conversation: Poetry, Philosophy, Science is a comprehensive account of Emily Dickinson's aesthetic and intellectual life. Through her letters and poems, Richard E. Brantley identifies Dickinson's dialogue with John Locke's rational empiricism, Charles Darwin's evolutionary biology, Wordsworth's "natural methodism," Ralph Waldo Emerson's idealism, and European and American intellectual traditions. Contrary to the image of the isolated poet, this ambitious study reveals Dickinson's agile mind developing through conversation with a community of contemporaries.

Reviews
"This book gives us a newly riveting Dickinson, a capacious, complex, and supple poet who could out-do Darwin in staring at the earth's chaos but who could also, at the core of the turbulence, channel Wordsworth's undying sense that order would prevail: not the rigid orders of the logicians or the philosophers, but the more aesthetic structures of the heart, always attuned, even when saddest, to beauty, which, as we know from Keats, can only exist if it's already dying. Remarkably, given his past achievements as a historian of ideas and a literary critic, this is Brantley's best book yet." - Review 19 "Highly recommended." - CHOICE, "Brantley demonstrates triumphantly, through his generous and engaging consideration of Dickinson's range of personae and of her innumerable interlocutors, living or dead - in an oeuvre tuned in both to Anglo-American poetry and to Anglo-American philosophy and science - that what he calls her 'life-writing' exhibits essentially an 'allegiance to dialogue'. . . Richard Brantley is a superbly gifted critic and (if one may use that term) a master of Dickinson's oeuvre." - Richard Gravil, The Wordsworth Circle "This book gives us a newly riveting Dickinson, a capacious, complex, and supple poet who could out-do Darwin in staring at the earth's chaos but who could also, at the core of the turbulence, channel Wordsworth's undying sense that order would prevail: not the rigid orders of the logicians or the philosophers, but the more aesthetic structures of the heart, always attuned, even when saddest, to beauty, which, as we know from Keats, can only exist if it's already dying. Remarkably, given his past achievements as a historian of ideas and a literary critic, this is Brantley's best book yet." - Review 19 "Highly recommended." - CHOICE, "Emily Dickinson's Rich Conversation explores the function of hope in Dickinson's poems and looks to place her in a broad cultural context. Brantley teases out the implications of a succinct central perception by treating that perception as a pebble tossed into the pool of late-19th-century transatlantic culture. His departure from familiar stylistics and his challenging yet entertaining mode of analysis make for delightful reading." - Paul Crumbley, Professor of English and Director of the Undergraduate American Studies Program, Utah State University, USA"Brantley provides us here with a witty, energetic, and buoyantly inclusive examination of Emily Dickinson's intensely creative engagement in an intellectual dialectic ranging from John Locke's time to ours - including Wesley, Emerson, Darwin, and Keats in his discussion while offering fresh insights into the poet's debt to Charles Wadsworth. Brantley establishes Dickinson as a bold, realistic, yet hopeful thinker as he engages in a graciously lively critical conversation that is sure to quicken appreciation of her dialogical art." - Jane Donahue Eberwein, Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, Oakland University, USA, "This book gives us a newly riveting Dickinson, a capacious, complex, and supple poet who could out-do Darwin in staring at the earth's chaos but who could also, at the core of the turbulence, channel Wordsworth's undying sense that order would prevail: not the rigid orders of the logicians or the philosophers, but the more aesthetic structures of the heart, always attuned, even when saddest, to beauty, which, as we know from Keats, can only exist if it's already dying. Remarkably, given his past achievements as a historian of ideas and a literary critic, this is Brantley's best book yet." - Review 19, "Richard E. Brantley's Emily Dickinson's Rich Conversation: Poetry, Philosophy, Science ... is a substantial study that seeks to illuminate Dickinson's poetry as a dialogic art form, engaged in a stylistic and thematic exploration of a wide variety of philosophical, scientific, and poetic discourses. ... Emily Dickinson's Rich Conversation is, in itself, an imaginative conversation with Dickinson that will provoke lively further debate on many of the subjects it addresses." (A Year's Work in English Studies, 2015) "Brantley's erudite and affectionate book brings a lifetime of scholarship on Dickinson and the wider context of Anglo-American empirical and Romantic traditions to bear on his reading of the poet." - The Emily Dickinson Journal "Highly recommended." - CHOICE "This book gives us a newly riveting Dickinson, a capacious, complex, and supple poet who could out-do Darwin in staring at the earth's chaos but who could also, at the core of the turbulence, channel Wordsworth's undying sense that order would prevail: not the rigid orders of the logicians or the philosophers, but the more aesthetic structures of the heart, always attuned, even when saddest, to beauty, which, as we know from Keats, can only exist if it's already dying.
