‘I’m nobody, who are you?’: an Emily Dickinson reading course

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is one of the greatest of American poets. Deceptively simple, her short verses turn out to be deeply enigmatic and powerful. This course will study her poetry and its background with close attention to the texts. A friendly and informal reading course, open to everyone, whatever your level of reading experience.
