Letters of Emily Dickinson

This collection of Dickinson's letters was first edited by Mabel Loomis Todd and published in 1894. It brings together notes and longer letters to family, friends and her literary adviser Thomas Wentworth Higginson. They show a playful, intense and often poetic voice, full of humour, affection and sudden insight. Readers see her daily world in Amherst, her love of gardens and books, and her thoughts on friendship, loss and writing. The letters give a valuable companion to the poems.
