Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). American poet who wrote nearly 1,800 poems, most of them in the seclusion of her family home in Amherst, Massachusetts, and who published only ten poems during her lifetime. Dickinson's cognitive signature is the discovery specialty operating in extreme social withdrawal: she stopped leaving the house in her thirties, communicated with friends and family primarily through written notes passed through her bedroom door, dressed in white, and worked obsessively at the formal innovations — the dashes, the slant rhymes, the compressed syntax — that would later be recognized as some of the most original poetic technique in the English language. The integration partner appeared posthumously: her sister Lavinia found the bound packets of poems after Emily's death, and the poet Thomas Wentworth Higginson and editor Mabel Loomis Todd produced the first published editions in the 1890s. Without the discovery of the manuscripts and the editorial labor that followed, Dickinson's work would not exist as a public body of literature. The pattern is the chapter's pattern: the discovery happens regardless of audience; the integration determines whether the discovery survives.
