Clark Griffith seeks to demonstrate that, if we come to terms with her true intellectual position, we find that Emily Dickinson is a tragic poet. He studies her special connection with the Age of Emerson, her dependence upon irony, her change in attitude from detachment to tragic involvement.Originally published in 1964.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
