CONTENTS

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This project has been somewhere in the back of my mind since I first read Dickinsons 1875 letters while preparing a biographical study of her life. At that time, I prepared a rough transcription of these letters to use in my own research. Even then, I thought they would make a wonderful book and a valuable teaching tool.

The problem was that among Anna Dickinsons many virtues, good penmanship was sadly absent. For many years, the book sat on the back burner. Periodically, when fate or good fortune presented me with a research assistant, I would set my researcher to work transcribing the letters (or improving upon the previous effort). Thanks to Christina Ericson Hansen, Holly Fisher, Angela Diaz, and Jennifer Lyon, who each took a crack at unraveling Dickinsons handwriting. Jennifer also made the first pass at writing the endnotes. Needless to say, I made all the final calls on the transcription and notes.

As I was preparing the manuscript for publication, many colleagues offered support and good advice. Thanks to Meredith Babb for providing valuable encouragement at the early stages of the project. Michael Fitzgerald offered some wise counsel on Reconstruction. Michele Gillespie and the two anonymous readers for the University Press of Kentucky helped shape the introduction and the explanatory notes. Michele and her fellow series editors, Bill Link and Pete Carmichaelthree of the best in the businessgave this project their stamp of approval and helped steer it through the publication process. Anne Dean Watkins and her colleagues at the University Press of Kentucky have been wonderful, and far more organized and professional than their too-harried author/editor.
