Book Description:

Domhnall Mitchell begins by focusing on three historical phenomena--the railroad, the Dickinson Homestead, and horticulture--and argues that poems about trains, home, and flowers engage with their meanings in ways that extend beyond the confines of the aesthetic. He shows how Dickinson's poems and letters reveal the full complexity of her position as a woman situated within a larger social and economic class.
