| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | The dissertation explores the unique perception of Dickinson’s domestic space and her cognition of interiority and examines how Dickinson makes use of the inner realm, crossing the boundary between interiority and exteriority and constructs her figurative home. The first chapter of this study examines Emily Dickinson’s real home and her reclusion, providing historical and biographical study on Dickinson’s familial relationships, parental influence, and the reclusion that is crucial to Dickinson’s home-making at home. The second chapter explores how the poet probes into her inner realm, discovering its containing quality and extensibility, and sees it as a possibility to dwell in. The third chapter extends the examination on Dickinson’s perception of interiority to an encounter with exteriority. Through the accumulations of experiences which are the source of power, the poet is able to draw a figurative home. By close readings on Dickinson’s letters and poems, the study examines how Dickinson’s awareness of her inner realm enables her to take the consciousness as a home. In the midst of confusions and disturbance in her life’s journey, Emily Dickinson has figured out a possible dwelling space for her to reside in. She is not confined in the interior, but is strengthened to extend to draw her own picture of home. Key words: Emily Dickinson, domestic space, reclusion, interiority, encounter | en_US |
