On Wednesday, October 20th at 7 PM, we host Emily Dickinson scholar, Aife Murray, for a discussion of her unique look at Emily Dickinson's work and influences. Murray's meticulously researched book, Maid as Muse: How Servants Changed Emily Dickinson's Life and Language, looks at the influence that the servants in the Dickinson household had on the poet's artistry, cultural views and relationships with other people. This startlingly original book transports the reader into the poet's home for an upstairs, downstairs look at how her multicultural staff shaped her worldview and how her maid, Margaret Maher, saved an opus from planned destruction.
