Little recognized during her life, she is now regarded as one of the most important American poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDickinson lived most of her life in quiet isolation, and was considered an eccentric by local people.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e She never married, almost always wore white and, at least later in life, she rarely left her bedroom. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eTypically lacking titles and using unconventional punctuation, her short lyrics were considered way ahead of their time when she was writing in the mid 19th century. Themes include death and immortality, aesthetics, society, nature and spirituality. Many mock the sentimentality of the time, challenge the existing definitions of poetry and the poet's work and some are religiously heretical. Her honest, subversive and uninhibited writing have led many to view her as a feminist writer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eDuring her lifetime Dickinson published just 10 of her nearly 1800 poems, and it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that her work became public. Her first volume was published 4 years after her death. \u003c\/span\u003eSince 1890 Dickinson has remained continuously in print and her poems are widely read, taught, and studied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSo why not celebrate a wonderful poet with our Emily Dickinson fridge magnet, which features her much-anthologised poem '\"Hope\" is the thing with feathers'. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Radical Tea Towel Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55716897390968,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0316\/3491\/5466\/files\/1366F5B7-8AD5-41AD-929B-0869E8276009.jpg?v=1793111844","url":"https:\/\/gazebogifts.co.uk\/products\/emily-dickinson-hope-magnet","provider":"Gazebogifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
