  • Life of the Woods a Study of Emily Dickinson by Donald Craig Love A
    Life of the Woods A Study of Emily Dickinson by Donald Craig Love A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Donald Craig Love 2013 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Beginning with T.W. Higginson, the poet’s first public critic and posthumous editor, the prevailing view of Emily Dickinson has been of a maker of “wonderful strokes and felicities, and yet an incomplete and unsatisfactory whole,” a view that is often based on her perceived strangeness as a person. More recently, Virginia Jackson has advanced the view of Dickinson’s poetry as being poorly served by modern methods of practical criticism, “dependent on their artifactual contexts” and on thoughts “too intimate for print.” Unabashedly practical in its approach, this thesis argues that the general shape of Dickinson’s life reveals her writings as the product of her personal quest for growth, and that, further, her reclusive habits reflect this quest. Dickinson’s removal from the ordinary modes of life in her town parallels Henry David Thoreau’s more transient life in the woods. No less than Thoreau, Dickinson wished “to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life,” but the combined pressures of gender and social situation placed restrictions on how Dickinson might do so as a woman.

  • Getting Cold Outside
    GETTING C-C-COLD OUTSIDE? EXPLORE WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS’ GREAT INDOORS! With the holidays come and gone, real Yankee-style winter typically gets a grip on this part of New England. And for the hardy outdoor types, we’ve got plenty of chill-weather sports and activities to offer. But for those who prefer snuggling in to bundling up, there’s still lots to see and do, in places where you won’t need mittens and boots. If knowledge and fun warm your hearts (and minds!) rejoice in the fact that our region is truly rich in excellent museums, and best of all, they’re not the stuffy keep-quiet-don’t-touch type. Virtually all feature hands-on experiences for all ages, and participation is encouraged. One of the coolest “exploratoriums” we offer isn’t even in Western Massachusetts, though it’s just minutes over the Connecticut state line. That’s the fabulous New England Air Museum, located in Windsor Locks. Their collection contains over 100 aircraft ranging from early flying machines to supersonic jets. Located in the heart of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, the Springfield Museums offers access to four world-class museums and (in warmer weather, of course) the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, all under a single admission. At the Springfield Science Museum the dinosaur exhibit spans two galleries and includes real dinosaur tracks and fossils, a life-sized Tyrannosaurus rex model, a replica of a stegosaurus skeleton, a surround-sound Jurassic Theater experience, and more. The Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History is known for its local history research facilities, its comprehensive program of changing exhibitions, its diverse educational offerings, and its wide ranging collections illuminating the history of the Connecticut River Valley.The Indian Motocycle Collection is the largest collection of Indian cycles and memorabilia in the world and the Firearms Collection includes more than 1600 firearms, with the largest collection of Smith & Wesson guns in the world.

  • Emily Dickinson - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Emily Dickinson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Emily Dickinson(10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886) Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent.

During my research process, I learned that the true persona Emily Dickinson does fit into one particular stereotype. In this thesis I provide, I examine three different theatrical interpretations of the character of Emily Dickinson: Allison’s House by Susan Glaspell, The Belle of Amherst by William Luce, and Emily: An Amethyst Remembrance by Chris Cragin. Though each of these texts are quite different in structure, they each depict woman who is strong and loving; she is not afraid of the world, but rather it is her choice to exclude herself from it.
