Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) är en av de största amerikanska poeterna genom tiderna. Hon behandlade klassiska ämnen som naturen, kärleken och döden, men hennes poesi blev i sin fria form nyskapande i den viktorianska litteraturen. Dickinson efterlämnade en omfattande brevkorrespondens, ett fyrtiotal anteckningsböcker och nästan tvåtusen dikter. Dickinsons litterära livsverk publicerades postumt.
