Genius Annotation

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts. She lived a very secluded life; rarely going out in public and spent most of her time alone or in the company of her family. Dickinson’s writing was not published until years after her death, in 1890.

The first editors took it upon themselves to remove her unusual use of dashes and replaced them with traditional punctuation. Eventually, editors began to restore the poems to their original state.

After Dickinson’s family found the hand bound collections of her poetry, editors did not keep the order of which Dickinson herself had left it. In 1981, R. W. Franklin restored the original order.
