With its clear, incisive analyses of Dickinson's poetry, wide-angle view of the poet's cultural situation, and sensitive discussion of Dickinson's sexual imagery, this is a book that will appeal to scholars, teachers, students, and general readers alike. In its study of clitoral imagery in particular it is a major contribution to our understanding of representations of female sexuality in art and in literature.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***First printing of the first UK paperback edition of this interesting study, now quite uncommon in the first printing. A very good reference for those interested in the poetry of Emily Dickinson. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.***.
