… Scholar challenges popular ideas about Emily Dickinson - UB Reporter. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)
… Dickinson’s forms and topics were typical of her era, and quite accessible and acceptable to the readers of her time.
What actually makes Dickinson's work so different from that of her contemporaries, Miller says, is “an electrifying sensibility; conciseness, especially syntactic; crisp and colloquial diction that lacks poeticisms or archaisms, and a greater disjunctiveness, marked by many dashes as well as by quick logical turns that challenge the reader to figure out the transitions.”
