Hmm …

… A Loaded Gun: The Real Emily Dickinson : Longreads Blog. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)



Well, there's a lot of "I believe" and "I'm convinced" in here — both explicit and implicit — only I don't and am not. Miss Emily has come down to us as an elusive figure and I am sure she meant that to happen. I've never thought of her as the mad woman in the attic, and I'm not about to think of her as an enraged proto-feminist.
