Emily Dickinson Collection, 1862-1907
This Digital Commonwealth collection contains approximately 70 letters and 43 poems sent by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) to Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911).
In 1862, Emily Dickinson responded to an article by Thomas Wentworth Higginson entitled "Letter to a Young Contributor," which formed a personal and professional relationship between the two and resulted in the first-time publication of many of Dickinson's poems.
Also included are letters written between Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd regarding the publication of Dickinson's poems.
