Emily Dickinson as a Poet of Nature & Love

Abstract

Emily Dickinson is a poet of love and nature not in the traditional sense of the term. She lived a life of secrecy and self chosen confinement. Human society was never a matter of interest to her. Rather she found the solace and comfort in the lap of nature. Though she wrote love poems, they do not correspond to the popular line of romanticism. She wrote poems on time, eternity, death, nature, love etc. But the common themes became uncommon in her portrayal. Thus Dickinson is a poet with difference. The scholarly interest to study her poetry remains forever for that very reason
