Q

Introduction paragraph

A

Throughout her proto-Modernist oeuvre, Dickinson simultaneously appropriates, and destabilizes, Transcendentalist tenets which her contemporaries deemed concrete. This project is particularly evident in her exploration of the implications of mental disturbance, often engendered by the inevitability of mortality. By withholding resolute answers to existential queries, Dickinson creates space for an ambivalent investigation of a nuanced human experience.
