Emily Dickinson In Context

Edited by Eliza Richards and published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge "In Context" series, *Emily Dickinson in Context* gathers essays by leading scholars that explore how Emily Dickinson’s poetry and prose emerge from, respond to, and reshape the social, political, religious, scientific, and literary environments of her time.

Organized around key thematic and historical frames—such as Civil War culture, print and manuscript practices, religious and philosophical debates, and transatlantic literary networks—the volume offers readers a multidimensional understanding of Dickinson’s work and its place in nineteenth‑century American and transatlantic culture.

It is designed for students, scholars, and general readers seeking an authoritative, up‑to‑date overview of Dickinson’s contexts and critical reception.
