The Posthumous Discovery of Dickinson's Poems. When Emily Dickinson died in 1886, she was unknown as a poet outside of a small circle of family and friends. Dickinsonâs poetic legacy consisted of almost 1800 poems, and no instructions about what to do with them.
Dickinson started writing in the late 1850s and there is a sense of a hush in many of her poems as the impending crisis turned into a full-blown war; studies have linked her writing to the effects achieved in landscape painting by the âluministsâ and their sense of a foreboding, American sublime.
