Emily Dickinson's (1830-1886) external life was remarkably circumscribed. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, and educated at Amherst Academy, she lived there her entire life, except for a brief stay at what was later to become Mount Holyoke College. Dickinson, though, read widely in English literature and thought deeply about what she read. Her poems do not encompass a wide range of experience; instead they probe deeply into a few of life's major experiences-- love, death, doubt, and faith. She died in the house where she was born.
