ReviewsFrom reviews of the original edition "Lundin's gracefully written biography is a fine introduction for readers who know little about the life of Emily Dickinson; specialists too will profit from Lundin's portrait of her in the context of the cultural, political, and theological issues of her day and of the history of Christian thought." -- Dorothy Huff Oberhaus in Emily Dickinson International Society Bulletin "Lundin gives us a magnificent literary biography, massively researched, elegantly written, subtly argued. . . . A work of haunting beauty." -- Grant Wacker in Books & Culture "Well written, free of the swollen jargon that obscures so much academic writing, Lundin's study of Dickinson provides a thoughtful analysis of America's greatest poet and the God who always eluded her grasp." -- Martha Ackmann in The Journal of American History "Rarely do reviewers read books they wish they had written. This is one of them. . . . Lundin's biography provides a unique and succinct introduction to this enigmatic poet and the spiritual struggle at the core of her being and her work." -- S. R. Graham in Choice "Dickinson may well be the finest lyric poet America has yet produced -- a fact that Lundin's learned and clear-sighted study gives us further reason to know." -- David Yezzi in Commonweal

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisNamed an "Outstanding Academic Book" by Choice when it was published in 1998, Emily Dickinson and the Art of Belief has since been widely recognized as one of the finest biographies of the great American poet. This superb work by Roger Lundin is now available in a revised edition that, in addition to incorporating text updates, aligns all citations of Dickinson's poems with the newly established standard edition of Dickinson's writing. Lundin looks chronologically at Dickinson's life, paying special attention to her experience of faith. He skillfully relates her personal development -- as it can be charted through her poems and letters -- to nineteenth-century American political, social, religious, and intellectual history. Series: Library of Religious Biography Series Editors: Mark A. Noll (series editor), Nathan O. Hatch (series editor), Allen C. Guelzo (series editor) The Library of Religious Biography is a series of original biographies on important religious figures throughout American and British history. The authors are well-known historians, each a recognized authority in the period of religious history in which his or her subject lived and worked.Grounded in solid research of both published and archival sources, these volumes link the lives of their subjects -- not always thought of as "religious" persons -- to the broader cultural contexts and religious issues that surrounded them. Each volume includes a bibliographical essay and an index to serve the needs of students, teachers, and researchers. Marked by careful scholarship yet free of footnotes and academic jargon, the books in this series are well-written narratives meant to be read and enjoyed as well as studied.
