Note: This essay is much more a preliminary attempt at exposing some of my own intuitions about reading Dickinson in a "new" way than the final outcome of a long process. I am aware that there still are many loopholes in my arguments. They are therefore offered in the spirit of exchange and debate, and in the hopes they will stimulate discussion, perhaps (certainly!) even contradiction. In a sense, the direction I intend to take in this study of Dickinson's writing, and of the modes of connection with the community surrounding her that such writing entails, is not so much "new" as a path along which to revisit areas of interest that have been already explored.
