Presents James Vincent Cunningham's "Emily Dickinson: Lyric And Legend". Three influential essays on the greatest American lyric poet of the 19th century: "I Had A Terror Since September", "He Never Saw Me In This Life", and "The Vision Pondered Long". "The poems may be read, and are better read, without the legend, that what should concern us is not the construct but the experiential referent of the poem. But still, the legend cannot be disregarded, for it is there. And in the case of the lyric poet, it operates with a special simplicity" (J. V. Cunningham). A truly great poet in his own right, Cunningham is himself also a legendary, near-mythical, figure, just like Emily Dickinson, and especially so as a teacher - not just a professor - whose life and wisdom are re-created by John Williams in "Stoner" (1965), regarded by the New Yorker Magazine as "the greatest American novel you never heard of". This present collection is quite special as such on several levels. An absolute "must-have" title for J. V. Cunningham and Emily Dickinson collectors. This is a Presentation Copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black fountain pen by J. V. Cunningham. This title is a classic. As far as we know, this is the only Presentation Copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the Limited Edition of 300 numbered copies, which was published simultaneously with it. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest American poets of the 20th on the greatest American lyric poet of the 19th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author.
