Emily Dickinson's concept of love : the far side of paradise

Abstract EN

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is concerned with the concept of love as a source of harmony in the universe.

She believes that the earth is created for lovers.

Her love poems are closely related to her personal experience.

She portrays the development of the emotional life until it reaches maturity that makes her persona immortal.

Dickinson's speculation, unlike the mystics, is based on imaginative and sensory experience.

She explores it with profundity.

She does this by experiences all forms of contradictory emotions to reflect her phases of suffering in a metaphysical way.

Furthermore, what marks her modernity is the realistic basis of her images which are written in a condensed and vague way.
