Excerpt from Reunion of the Dickinson Family: At Amherst, August 8th and 9th, 1883, With Appendix He knew that to accomplish this object, some one must act, and believing that the proposal of a general meeting would receive a general indorsement, he decided to take the responsibility of calling the attention of the great family to its consideration. His first movement was naturally among those nearest to him, - the worthy agricultural class of his native town of Amherst, quite numerously bearing the name, all of whom cordially responded in favor of the meeting. Then letters followed to M. F. Dickinson, J r., Esq., of Boston John W. Dickinson, of Boston, Secretary of the State Board of Education Rev. Chas. A. Dickinson, of Lowell, and Austin Goodridge, Esq., of Westminster, Vt. From all of these able and influential gentlemenwas received enthusiastic approval of the proposed meeting, and expressions of willingness to aid in making it a decided success. The Dickinsons from Worcester, Springfield, North ampton and Hadley responded with the like spirit of approval. The names on the list of committee had in creased, and Mr. F. W. Dickinson, of Springfield, had accepted the office of Secretary, and was devoting his untiring efforts to disseminate notices of the proposed meeting, and was receiving almost unanimous expressions favorable to the desired object.

An exciting new reference work that illuminates the beliefs, customs, events, material culture, and institutions that made up Emily Dickinson's world, giving users a glance at both Dickinson's life and times and the social history of America in the 19th century. While Emily Dickinson is one of the most widely studied American poets, some dimensions of her life and work are largely under-appreciated. This book provides the wider context necessary for a more complete understanding of Dickinson, presenting Dickinson's life and times as well as discussion of her poetry and letters. Prolific author and Dickinson expert Wendy Martin and 59 contributors address the relationship between Emily Dickinson's life and work and the larger world in which she lived. Examination of topics such as the history of Amherst, MA, and the Dickinson family's place in it; and the cultural, financial, political, legal, and religious practices of the day illuminate important dimensions of Dickinson's experiences and world for students, scholars, and general readers of this iconic poet's work.

Americans’ long and restless search for identity through family trees illuminates the story of America itself, according to François Weil, as preoccupation with social standing, racial purity, and national belonging gave way to an embrace of diversity in one’s forebears, pursued through Ancestry.com and advances in DNA testing.

Garnering awards from Choice, Christianity Today, Books & Culture, and the Conference on Christianity and Literature when first published in 1998, Roger Lundin's Emily Dickinson and the Art of Belief has been widely recognized as one of the finest biographies of the great American poet Emily Dickinson. Paying special attention to her experience of faith, Lundin skillfully relates Dickinson's life -- as it can be charted through her poems and letters -- to nineteenth-century American political, social, religious, and intellectual history. This second edition of Lundin's superb work includes a standard bibliography, expanded notes, and a more extensive discussion of Dickinson's poetry than the first edition contained. Besides examining Dickinson's singular life and work in greater depth, Lundin has also keyed all poem citations to the recently updated standard edition of Dickinson's poetry. Already outstanding, Lundin's biography of Emily Dickinson is now even better than before.
