I am here this afternoon with a detective story. And as with most mysteries, what you seek is not necessarily what you find. My research proved otherwise and indicated that the letters indeed might still exist. Searching for the descendents of Anna Norcross Swett and the letter Loo and Fanny wrote that provided an inventory of those "articles" has been a literary detective hunt that has occupied a large part of the last four years. Before describing that hunt, let me briefly reacquaint everyone with Anna Jones Norcross Swett and her relevance to Dickinson biography. Anna lived with her parents and younger brother William in Lynn, Massachusetts just north of Boston. The young couple moved to Riverside, California and tried their hand at raising fruitâ raisins, oranges, and limesâ and experimenting with a drying process they called "swetting. When the fruit business proved not as profitable as they would have liked, the family returned to Massachusetts. Anna was preceded in death by her husband and son. Louis was struck by lightning in while sitting in an easy chair in his living room. Anna died in at the age of eighty-four, leaving one granddaughter as her sole heir. Just who was that granddaughter, a woman who would now be in her eighties? Had she married and changed her name? Where did she live? I was left with only a name: And an address of the family business from the s: The Modern Shop of Lexington, Massachusetts. I called the local library in the city where Viano had last lived and asked if she were listed in the local telephone directory. I did not find the Norcross letters. Viano knew of Loo and Fanny, but she knew nothing of a bequest to her grandmother from the Norcrosses. You are not currently authenticated. View freely available titles: Page 1

Dickinson looked forward to this day greatly; a surviving fragment of a letter written by her states that "Tuesday is a deeply depressed Day". Dickinson referred to him as "our latest Lost". Decline and death Although she continued to write in her last years, Dickinson stopped editing and organizing her poems. She also exacted a promise from her sister Lavinia to burn her papers. Irreconcilably alienated from his wife, Austin fell in love in with Mabel Loomis Todd, an Amherst College faculty wife who had recently moved to the area. Todd never met Dickinson but was intrigued by her, referring to her as "a lady whom the people call the Myth". Five weeks later, Dickinson wrote "We were never intimate In the fall of, she wrote that "The Dyings have been too deep for me, and before I could raise my Heart from one, another has come. She remained unconscious late into the night and weeks of ill health followed. On November 30,, her feebleness and other symptoms were so worrying that Austin canceled a trip to Boston. What is thought to be her last letter was sent to her cousins, Louise and Frances Norcross, and simply read: Austin wrote in his diary that "the day was awful Since Dickinson has remained continuously in print. They were published anonymously and heavily edited, with conventionalized punctuation and formal titles. In, several poems were altered and published in Drum Beat, to raise funds for medical care for Union soldiers in the war. Significantly though, Dickinson had left no instructions about the 40 notebooks and loose sheets gathered in a locked chest. Higginson, appeared in November Second Series followed in, running to five editions by ; a third series appeared in One reviewer, in, wrote: Using the physical evidence of the original papers, the poems were intended to be published in their original order for the first time. These are often conventional and sentimental in nature. The fifth poem, which begins "I have a Bird in spring", conveys her grief over the feared loss of friendship and was sent to her friend Sue Gilbert. This was her most creative periodâ these poems represent her most vigorous and creative work. Johnson estimated that she composed 86 poems in, in, in, and in He also believed that during this period, she fully developed her themes of life and mortality. It is estimated that two-thirds of the entire body of her poetry was written before this year. Sometimes her use of these meters is regular, but oftentimes it is irregular. The regular form that she most often employs is the ballad stanza, a traditional form that is divided into quatrains, using tetrameter for the first and third lines and trimeter for the second and fourth, while rhyming the second and fourth lines ABCB. Though Dickinson often uses perfect rhymes for lines two and four, she also makes frequent use of slant rhyme. Since many of her poems were written in traditional ballad stanzas with ABCB rhyme schemes, some of these poems can be sung to fit the melodies of popular folk songs and hymns that also use the common meter, employing alternating lines of iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter. Meaningful distinctions, these scholars assert, can be drawn from varying lengths and angles of dash, and differing arrangements of text on the page. She has been regarded, alongside Emerson whose poems Dickinson admired, as a Transcendentalist. Farr, for example, contends that the Master is an unattainable composite figure, "human, with specific characteristics, but godlike" and speculates that Master may be a "kind of Christian muse". Throughout her life, Dickinson wrote poems reflecting a preoccupation with the teachings of Jesus Christ and, indeed, many are addressed to him. Academic Suzanne Juhasz considers that Dickinson saw the mind and spirit as tangible visitable places and that for much of her life she lived within them. Maurice Thompson, who was literary editor of The Independent for twelve years, noted in that her poetry had "a strange mixture of rare individuality and originality". The wisdom of the ages and the nature of man insist on so much". She was deeply tinged by the mysticism of Blake, and strongly influenced by the mannerism of Emerson Dickinson was suddenly referred to by various critics as a great woman poet, and a cult following began to form. Her gift for words and the cultural predicament of her time drove her to poetry instead of antimacassars In the first collection of critical Page 2

How is the relationship threatened by the printing process? What are the dynamics of revision? As its name implies, textual genetics is oriented towards the genesis of literary works. It does not aim to reconstitute the optimal text or a work but, rather, to reconstitute the writing process which resulted in the work. In "Document Constellations" I take up, very briefly, the articulation of the relations between avant- and apres-texts and "finished" texts. Here, however, my focus will be on "writing" as such; that is to say, on the active, fluid process that is the textual production of the writer in the very grips of writing. On the surfaces of her manuscripts--both her fair and rough copies--dickinson expressed herself in a series of legible signs and illegible marks--in letters, dashes, ink blots and blurs, pen tests, strike-outs, hand shifts, etc. This complex, ambiguous, and charged interplay of "intentional" and "accidental" traces make us strongly aware of the writer--of her desires, choices, decisions, or, at least of the material traces of those desires, choices, and decisions. This narrative is indeed a fascinating one--as fascinating to me as the narrative of her life, more fascinating, perhaps, since while the narratives of her life are necessarily reconstructions of that life, the narrative of her hands was composed by Dickinson herself, giving us an "autography" rather than an "autobiography. In her work, two broad scriptive styles--two hands--persist throughout her writing life and translate not only two different composition moments, but also to different attitudes towards writing. The small, often scribbled hand Dickinson used when first jotting down rough drafts of poems, messages, and fragments remained constant from the s through It resembles the hand of the automatic writer who writes in a state of rapt attention, never taking the pen or pencil off of the paper, never exiting the drive of writing. The legibility of the early script suggests that Dickinson was modeling her fair-copy hand after the exemplary hands featured in penmanship manuals or, perhaps, imitating the exactness of print. Finally, in the s, the handwriting of the fair-copy drafts evolved again. The letters of the alphabet lose their shape as calligraphy transcends the need to render them as fixed forms and becomes expressive. The manuscripts are featured in Radical Scatters: U of Michigan P, Please consult the archive for additional textual examples. In addition to opening up for our consideration a series of microgenetic questions about the marks Dickinson and others made on the manuscript pages of "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers," the site "Emily Dickinson Writing a Poem" also opens up a series of important macrogenetic questions. By the nineteenth century manuscripts had, by and large, lost their communicating and circulating functions to become "the personal trace of an individual creation. And in her letter beginning "I am not suited dear Emily with the second verse. Strange things always go alone," SHGD reminds us of the mystery of the writing event that has been brought to an end, terminated, closed out--a writing act that cannot be repeated. The question concerning the "identity" of the poem we know as "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers" remains open. A number of fixed stars grouped together within the outline of an imaginary figure traced on the face of the sky. A group of ideas or personality factors, usually formed by association. The presentation of documents--poems, letters, drafts, fragments--both as related to each other i. For example, while conventional displays of document constellations imply that we will find fragments interesting only because we have found the "finished" poems or letters in which they reappear of value, the dehierarchized display illuminates the both poems and letters and fragments as freestanding texts. In addition to encouraging speculation about inter- and transtextual connections among documents, the display of document constellations encourages viewers to formulate alternative narratives of textual production. Build a supplementary file, with links to Web 3, in which you explore--visually--and analyze--graphically and verbally--the play of autonomy and intertextuality in a rich document constellation. Note that the governing law of the document constellation--the textual universe--is the law of expansion: Consider the ways in which texts act not as discrete nodes in a network, but as multiple nodes in multiple discourses, the trajectories of Page 4

5 which may be oblique with respect to one another. See Index of Document Constellations. Define the principle of organization governing the constellation. The constellations below focus on relations of autonomy and intertextuality in a given set of texts. Yet all of the documents in the constellations below "belong" to a number of other constellations focused by other concerns--original file location, paper type, handwriting style, composition date, addressee, etc. Make a preliminary list of documents with links to the document chosen as the point of departure and locate facsimiles of these documents. Experiment with different ways of representing document constellations and different ways of representing both links and broken connections within document constellations. Which documents within a given constellation seem most remote or estranged from the others? Which documents--or which whole constellations--resist all narratives? Compose rich bibliographical descriptions for all of the documents in the constellation. It should, however, be possible to add to these basic bibliographical descriptions. Indeed, hyper media archives offering students and scholars high-quality images of documents may not only teach students at all levels the principles of bibliography but inspire them to engage in a poetics of bibliography. Add where appropriate con textual notes to the bibliographical descriptions. Report when known the transmission histories of the documents. Record the publication histories for the documents in the constellation. Link the documents with their printed sources. Do they reflect poetic conventions of the 19th century? Of the 20th century? Add the questions and answers to the con textual notes accompanying the document. Vary the point of departure and see if the variation produces changes in the constellation.
