Emily Dickinson was an enigmatic figure. Her personal life has always been veiled in mystery which intrigued biographers and researchers of her poetry. Although she left over two thousand poems and approximately one thousand letters in which she enclosed a lot of details about herself, these remarks were more directed at highlighting the mysterious aura surrounding her life as well as creating an unambiguous image of herself.
Researchers debate among themselves about the source of Dickinson’s extraordinary sensitivity. Most of the time they point to unhappy love- the prematurely deceased Benjamin Franklin Newton- an employee of the law firm that belonged to her father, then again to the married pastor Charles Wadsworth, or also married journalist
