"There was a young woman named Jenny,
Whose limericks weren't worth a penny.
Her rhythm and rhyme
Were perfectly fine
But whenever she tried to write any,
She always had one line too many."

| |  | | | In Brief
This book is an "edition of forty of Dickinson's late manuscripts. . .. The manuscripts range from fair copies of letters Dickinson drafted, to partial rough drafts of letters and poems, to bits of writing on scraps--an envelope, the margin of a magazine illustration or legal form, the back of a pharmacy wrapper. The main point of presenting these facsimiles and transcriptions in this volume is to . . . {show how they are used} in Millicent Todd Bingham's Emily Dickinson: A Revelation (1954) and Thomas Johnson's Letters (1958). . . . Werner's alternative to the closures imposed by Bingham and Johnson is 'anaesthetics of open-endedness (that) initiates a break with the analytical methods and claims to comprehensiveness generally associated with scholarly narratives . . . a poetics (of reading, of editing) (that) precedes theory'." (Am Lit)
| | | | From The Publisher
Emily Dickinson's Open Folios is a scholarly edition and aesthetic exploration of a group of forty late drafts and fragments hitherto known as the "Lord letters." The drafts are presented in facsimile form alongside typed transcriptions that reproduce as fully as possible the shock of script and startling array of visual details inscribed on the surfaces of the manuscripts. Marta L. Werner argues that a redefinition of the editorial enterprise is needed to approach the revelations of these writings - the details that have been all but erased by editorial interventions and print conventions in the twentieth century. Paradoxically, "un-editing" them allows a better understanding of the relationship between medium and messages. Werner's commentary forsakes the claims to comprehensiveness generally associated with scholarly narrative in favor of a series of speculative and fragmentary "close-ups" - a portrait in pieces. Finally, she proposes the acts of both reading and writing as visual poems. A crucial reference for Dickinson scholars, this book is also of primary importance to textual scholars, editorial theorists, and students of gender and cultural studies interested in the production, dissemination, and interpretation of works by women writers.

That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all."
