Emily Dickinson
Many people know Emily Dickinson as a poet who lived largely in isolation in her father's family as an adult, but few know that she was one of the most prolific writers of the 19th century, if not the most. Scholars now count nearly 1,800 of his poems, written during his short life of just 55 years. She writes about love, nature, death, the mysteries of life, sadness, religion, and more. The Emily Dickinson Museum's website describes her poems as "lyrics," meaning short poems with only one speaker, although the speaker is not necessarily always Dickinson himself. Dickinson writes as often as she can and about everything she can. Recently, I watched a documentary about her work called My Letter to the World, which featured a layer of chocolate wrapper on which she partially wrote a poem, perhaps. When a wave of inspiration hit her, she was in the kitchen making sweets for her family. In addition to her poetry collections, she writes daily letters to different people in her life, also full of prose and magical language. When her poems began to be published after her death, she quickly became one of America's most popular female poets, so much so that books continued to be written about her fascinating life. and many scholars still study her work. His life teaches us that even gentle, calm souls can make a big difference in this world. Harriet Martineau Harriet Martineau is another rare writer from Victorian England who supported herself through writing. And like many of her team, she had progressive and even controversial ideas at the time that helped her make a name for herself. 5 Martineau's parents encouraged their children to read well, and she developed a love of writing at an early age. She first started writing for a Unity publication (her father was a Unity deacon) and when her parents' business failed, she started selling her articles. for the same publication, quickly became famous. She later said that the failure of her parents' business was one of the best things that happened to her, as it led her to a career she loves. Martineau was drawn to political thought early on and focused much of her writing in this area. When she moved to London around the age of 30, she became part of the elite philosophical community, becoming friends with the likes of Charles Darwin’s family, John Stewart Mill, Elizabeth Browning, Thomas Carlye, and many others. Among her primary interests were abolition, women’s rights, domestic relations, worker’s rights, and freedom of thought. She became a celebrity in both England and the United States, known for her rapidly emerging and brilliant works. Princess Victoria was even a fan, inviting Martineau to her coronation when she became queen. Martineau published over 1,600 articles for the newspaper Daily News between 1852 and 1866. She was also the author of over 50 books on a range of topics and for a range of audiences, even writing a series of novels for children. She did all of this while coping with a debilitating illness that left her deaf, without the ability to smell or taste, and eventually invading her heart. Download 46.7 Kb.
