Alexandra Socarides is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Missouri.
"This is by far the best book on Dickinson I have read in a long
time. It is an important and timely contribution to Dickinson
studies, to the history of the book, to the history of reading, and
a crucial contribution to the emerging field of nineteenth-century
historical poetics."--Virginia Jackson, author of Dickinson's
Misery: A Theory of Lyric Reading
"Socarides' close attention to Dickinson's compositional practices
is so interesting that it's astonishing that it's taken this long
for such a book to appear-although the demanding nature of her
primary archival work may explain why it has not. Dickinson Unbound
sets a high standard for rigor and care of inference in Dickinson
manuscript studies." --Mary Loeffelholz, author of From School to
Salon: Reading Nineteenth-Century American Women's
Poetry
"Characterized by rigorous scholarship, Socarides's invaluable
inquiry into method sets a precedent for Dickinson studies...Highly
recommended." --Choice
"[O]ffers an exciting and insightful intervention into Dickinson
studies while also suggesting new avenues for approaching women's
poetry of the nineteenth century." --Legacy
