Dickinson and Nature | The Poetry of Emily Dickinson | Dr. Abigail Rawleigh

Dickinson's poetry abounds in natural imagery: we watch a bird experience life from a hidden vantage point, encounter faraway volcanoes, and consider how nature might be a truer (or, at least, equal) church than the ones folks attend on Sunday. In this lecture, we'll practice reading Dickinson's poetry for metaphor, uncovering the layered meanings in "Come Slowly--Eden," and learn about changing perceptions of "nature" in the nineteenth century United States. We'll consider how Dickinson's poetic representations/interpretations of nature fit into her larger social, political, and religious context and how that context might inform our reading of her poetry. Guiding question(s): How does Dickinson’s poetry represent/interpret/engage with the natural world?
