Synopsis
Emily Dickinson (1830-86) recasts British-Romantic themes of natural and spiritual perception for an American audience; her poetry builds on the experiential common ground of empiricism and evangelicalism in Romantic Anglo-America.
Biography
Richard E. Brantley is Alumni Professor of English at the University of Florida, where he has taught since 1969. He is the author of Wordsworth's "Natural Methodism" (1975) and Locke, Wesley, and the Method of English Romanticism (1984), which won the Conference on Christianity and Literature award for best book of 1984. His Coordinates of Anglo-American Romanticism: Wesley, Edwards, Carlyle, and Emerson (1993) and his Anglo-American Antiphony: The Late Romanticism of Tennyson and Emerson (1994) pioneered the recent boom in the study of transatlantic Romanticism.

August 02, 2005: I've tried to read this, I really have, but this book is so bogged down in quotations and citations that I have no idea what the author is trying to say. It's a very confusing book and does little to help me understand Dickinson any better.
