This essay examines Emily Dickinson’s poems in their historical and social context with particular attention given to the considerable influence the Civil War had on her poems. Literary criticisms of Dickinson often scrutinize her poems without sufficient consideration of her environment because she lived in seclusion and did not directly refer to the Civil War in her writing. However, the writing Dickinson produced at this time was shaped by the trauma of war. Her poems serve as testament to Dickinson’s sensitivity to the tragedy enveloping the nation. By analyzing her poems, I examine how Dickinson criticizes the brutality of war and religion for its idealization of death while acknowledging the utility of the Christian religion for mourning and consolation it provided for the lives lost in war and survivors in times of grief.
