After Emily: Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America's Greatest Poet

After Emily was longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography and was a finalist for the Plutarch Award. Despite Emily Dickinson's renown, the story of the two women most responsible for her initial posthumous publication—Mabel Loomis Todd and her daughter, Millicent Todd Bingham—has remained in the shadows of the archives. Utilizing hundreds of overlooked letters and diaries to weave together three unstoppable women, Julie Dobrow reveals the intrigue of Dickinson's literary beginnings, including Mabel's tumultuous affair with Emily's brother, Austin Dickinson, controversial editorial decisions, and a battle over the right to define the so-called Belle of Amherst.
