艾米莉·狄金森(Emily Dickinson,1830—1886)是美国著名诗人、现代主义诗歌的开拓者。她与惠特曼一起,被誉为19世纪美国诗坛的双子星座。与后者不同的是,狄金森生前只有几篇作品发表,可谓寂寂无名,无所建树。然而历史对她非常公正。20世纪中期以来,狄金森受到学界越来越多的关注,以致被誉为“19世纪美国最杰出的女诗人”。 Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is a famous American poet, pioneer of modernist poetry. She and Whitman together, known as the 19th century American poetry Gemini constellation.

Since the middle of the 20th century, Dickinson has drawn more and more attention from the academic circles and has been hailed as “the most outstanding female poet in the United States in the 19th century.”
