Emily Dickinson over Time




After her death, upon Dickinson's increasing popularity, her family doctored the picture of her, making it increasingly fancy.

I'm reading Lives Like Loaded Guns, the recent biography of Dickinson, and boy, that family did a lot of doctoring!--not just with pictures, but with facts, as well.

(Pictures here, here, and here.)
