Emily Dickinson

     The year 1830 is a crucial date in English history.  You see, this is
the year that one of the most influential poets in the world was born.  Emily
Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, an old fashioned Puritan town.
Rarely did she go outside to meet strangers or walk in the garden.  Emily felt

attempted to teach others a lesson when she wrote "Tell All The Turth, But Tell
It Slant."  In this work, she wishes that Charles had given her a reason why he
