Writing

Emily Dickinson is considered one of the most original authors and poets of the nineteenth century. She utilized a broken rhyming meter, and dashes and random capitalization which was unique and unconventional at the time. In her writing, Dickinson will at times leave out helping verbs and connecting words, and drops the endings from verbs and nouns. She references English hymns, and had used literal definitions from //Webster's Dictionary// for inspiration. Her disregard for proper grammar and the value of sentence structure have been what make her writings so interesting. Her seclusion from society may have contributed to her waywardness and obscure writing style.
