诗人埃米莉·狄更生在生命的最后 15年里足不出户 ,许多人认为这是因为她性格古怪、爱情受挫、受传统束缚。本文通过对其作品及书信的分析 ,证明诗人在隐退初期确实意在积累创作等待成名 ;而到后来成名无望时则进一步隐退 ,以维护自己的创作特性。 Emily Dickinson, the poet, stays home for the last 15 years of her life, and many think it is because of her weird character, her frustrated love and her traditional bondage. Through the analysis of his works and epistles, this paper proves that the poet did intend to accumulate creations waiting for fame in the early stages of retreating, and then retreated further in order to maintain his own creative features.
