Roger Lundin is Blanchard Professor of English at Wheaton College in Illinois.
From reviews of the original edition "Lundin's gracefully written biography is a fine introduction for readers who know little about the life of Emily Dickinson; specialists too will profit from Lundin's portrait of her in the context of the cultural, political, and theological issues of her day and of the history of Christian thought." -- Dorothy Huff Oberhaus in Emily Dickinson International Society Bulletin "Lundin gives us a magnificent literary biography, massively researched, elegantly written, subtly argued. . . . A work of haunting beauty." -- Grant Wacker in Books & Culture "Well written, free of the swollen jargon that obscures so much academic writing, Lundin's study of Dickinson provides a thoughtful analysis of America's greatest poet and the God who always eluded her grasp." -- Martha Ackmann in The Journal of American History "Rarely do reviewers read books they wish they had written. This is one of them. . . . Lundin's biography provides a unique and succinct introduction to this enigmatic poet and the spiritual struggle at the core of her being and her work." -- S. R. Graham in Choice "Dickinson may well be the finest lyric poet America has yet produced -- a fact that Lundin's learned and clear-sighted study gives us further reason to know." -- David Yezzi in Commonweal
