Seller's Description:
Good+ Hardcover. Large 8vo. Published by Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA. 1981. 2 Volumes. 1442 pgs. Smoke smell present. Issued in slipcase. Slipcase lightly scuffed and worn. Bound in decorated cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Here for the first time is the poetry of Emily Dickinson as she herself “published” it in the privacy of her upstairs room in the house in Amherst. She invented her own form of bookmaking. Her first drafts, jotted on odd scraps of paper, were discarded when transcribed. Completed poems were neatly copied in ink on sheets of folded stationery which she arranged in groups, usually of sixteen to twenty-four pages, and sewed together into packets or fascicles. These manuscript books were her private mode of publication, a substitute perhaps for the public mode that, for reasons unexplained, she denied herself. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the fascicles as artistic gathering, intrarelated by theme, imagery, or emotional movement. But no edition in the past, not even the variorum, or has arranged the poems in the sequence in which they appear in the manuscript books. EB; 2 Volume Set; 7.25 X 5.25 X 11.25 inches; 1490 pages.
