- W4385243558 abstract "Reviewed by: The Oxford Handbook of Emily Dickinson ed. by Cristanne Miller and Karen Sánchez-Eppler Elizabeth Petrino (bio) Miller, Cristanne and Karen Sánchez-Eppler, editors. The Oxford Handbook of Emily Dickinson. Oxford UP, 2022. 656 pp., $145. In a spate of recent critical collections on Emily Dickinson, The Oxford Handbook of Emily Dickinson takes its place among other volumes that seek to define new trends in Dickinson studies. For nearly twenty years, there has been no shortage of companions and guides to the poet: edited collections include Vivian Pollak's A Historical Guide to Emily Dickinson (2004), Martha Nell Smith and Mary Loeffelholz's A Companion to Emily Dickinson (2008), Eliza Richards' Emily Dickinson in Context (2013), and, most recently, Michelle Kohler's The New Emily Dickinson Studies (2019). If readers are looking for a Virgil to their Dante, which to choose? Editors Cristanne Miller and Karen Sánchez-Eppler offer a curated volume that includes thirty-four critical essays and presents new, rich contextual information for reading the poetry and letters, and the collection explores the poet's encounters with print culture, pedagogy, media, and other topics. Rather than addressing the major questions that have dominated Dickinson criticism for decades, such as her decision not to publish, the fascicles' organizing principle, or the presumed recipient of the Master letters, these essays demonstrate, as the editors remind us, that her poetry is composed of Nows—both relevant to our current era and rooted in nineteenth-century America. Surveying the entire collection provides a reader with an overview of current approaches to Dickinson studies. The Oxford Handbook is not so much a concise, ready reference or manual as an encyclopedic exploration of historical and theoretical approaches to Dickinson that deepens our understanding of the poet within her historical and cultural context. Structurally, the volume is divided into [End Page 87] five sections: local history and geography; poetics and approaches to composition; media contexts, including print culture, books, pedagogy, music, and composition; and her ways of knowing the world, including textual, philosophical, Biblical hermeneutical, geographical, environmental, and technical modes of orientation; along with a final coda. The volume contains a bibliography for further reading after each essay and a useful list of archives with major holdings of Dickinson manuscripts or family materials. In the introduction, A Poetry 'composed of Nows—': Dickinson's Historical Context and Contemporary Relevance, Miller and Sánchez-Eppler survey Dickinson's engagement with the Here (Fr690, M 334)—exploring the local and regional environment in which she lived, her immersion in nineteenth-century culture—and now, her continuing relevance to contemporary, international scholars and artists. While the editors acknowledge that no edition of Dickinson's poems will be definitive, they navigate the question of which recent edition to use by employing Miller's, since this edition presents Dickinson's poems as she left them (7). In doing so, the centrality of the manuscripts appears throughout the volume as a given rather than as a hotly contested debate in the criticism. Perhaps most excitingly, the collection aims to establish potential agendas for future work in the field, a claim that might best be tested by considering how each section contributes its series of essays to critical debate (1). Each of the major sections holds true to this claim by refining existing scholarship and proposing new interpretations of the poet. The opening section, 'Do They Know That This Is Amherst': Dickinson in Place, centers on the poet at home and in the environs of the Connecticut River Valley. Lisa Brooks provides a history of the relations the Dickinson family had with First Nations people, and she recovers locations of former settlements, place names, and evidence of land transfer, a story that suggests the Dickinsons' involvement as settlers and soldiers is entwined with the colonization of the Connecticut River Valley; their family story is emblematic of settler colonialism in New England (24). In exploring the history of the First Church of Amherst, Jane Donahue Eberwein illuminates the relationship of its 'most famous non-member' (quoting from the church's current website) to the religious institution that was her family's mainstay for generations: although Dickinson mainly chose not..." @default.
