Absolutely the most informative and fascinating discussion of Emily Dickinson that I have ever heard. Mr. Habegger's discussion of Emily Dickinson's father (and the family's strict Calvinism) was very revealing, and this (along with a failed love life and bad health) explains a lot about Emily's reclusive behavior (especially in her later life). A lecture well worth listening to!

Thank you for uploading the video. The lecture is very instructive.
There’s so many fascinating books out about Emily.
All these authors / biographers are top notch.
Great lecture!
The lecturer mentions Emily was in her fiftys in 1852-she was born in 1830 actually
I think he was referring to her mother also named Emily, Emily Norcross Dickinson
Great talk. Thanks.
How ironic that Emily's father had a daughter who clearly surpassed him in intellect.
Quite common for a daughter to surpass her father’s intellect. 50/50 chance really
