This book is interesting today to literary historians studying Emily Dickinson. Miss Dickinson wrote to her cousins, Louise and Fanny Norcross, in a January, 1885 letter: "A friend sent me 'Called Back'. It is a haunting story, and.greatly impressive to me." (Letters…, 1894, v.2, p.299). The last letter she is believed to have written, to the same cousins, contained just four words: "Little Cousins, - Called back" (undated, just before the 15th May, 1886, which was the day she died). Dickinson titled few of her poems; when Mabel Loomis Todd published Poems in 1891 she gave the title "Called Back" to the early poem beginning "Just lost, when I was saved.". Dickinson's niece, Martha Dickinson Bianchi, replaced the original tombstone, which simply said "E.D.D.", with another that ".included Dickinson's birth and death dates as well as the phrase 'Called Back'" (Dickinson Museum website, Amherst). Some wear to the leather and boards. A Very Good copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 05cb931c14f863f7466d1f3a882efbe9
