Alfred Habegger has drawn on massive new research as well as the work of previous scholars to assemble the first solidly documented account of her life, one that presents its varied elements in a richly braided and chronological narrative.\u003cp\u003eWeaving in her religious background, her father's uncompromising Whig politics, her close yet distant family life, her attachments to her chosen friends, her driving expressiveness, and her supremely private integrity, Habegger presents a magisterial picture of genius in the act of formation, and then in the act of overwhelming production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho was Dickinson's mysterious lover? Was she lesbian? Why was \"not telling\" so integral a part of her life and art? How did the Civil War enter into her profound struggles as an artist and a woman? Are there discernable phases in the development of her poetry? My Wars Are Laid Away in Books soberly marshals the best available answers to such questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Emily Dickinson will continue to perplex readers, the essential course of her remarkable story can now be followed with much greater clarity and certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson | Alfred Habegger | Hardcover | 0679449868 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks R 1772202","offer_id":49575597801624,"sku":"1772202","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/A1O5RD32WCL.jpg?v=1785265793","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/my-wars-are-laid-away-in-books-the-life-of-emily-dickinson","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
