White's comprehensive and engaging book so effectively unites a
balanced assessment of relevant scholarship with insight into
prevailing trends that it is destined to become essential reading
for both students coming to Dickinson for the first time and
scholars long familiar with the field of Dickinson studies. White
helps experienced scholars acknowledge those whose work has made
their own thought possible at the same time that he provides those
new to Dickinson with a lively sense of the expanding panorama of
interpretive possibilities that continues to define the field of
Dickinson scholarship.
