Abstract "Examines the ways in which Dickinson's literary style was affected by her experiences with tuberculosis. An in-depth discussion on 73 of Dickinson's poems provides readers with a fresh perspective on her notoriously shut-in lifestyle, her complicated relationship with the tuberculosis-stricken Benjamin Franklin Newton, and the possible real-life inspirations for her "terror since September.""--Provided by publisher.
