Out of the mists of sentiment and legend which long obscured her real identity and power, a new Emily Dickinson is emerging, thanks to the careful work of editors, scholars, and critics – especially since the publication of the Harvard variorum edition of her complete poems in 1955. The theme of the present volume is set by the title of one of its pivotal essays, „A Poet Restored,” by John Crowe Ransom. Ransom and his fellow critics help us see why Emily Dickinson is not only a great woman poet and a great American poet but, to quote Yvor Winters, „… except by Melville, she is surpassed by no writer that this country has produced; she is one of the greatest lyric poets of all time.”
