A lecture about Emily Dickinson by biographer Lyndall Gordon

proposes epilepsy as the cause of the poet's enigmatic behavior and 
creativity, and examines the family's multi-layered saga after 
Dickinson's death. Gordon is the author of prize-winning biographies of 
Eliot, Woolf, and Charlotte Brontë. She is Senior Research Fellow at St 
Hilda’s College, Oxford.

The event is free and open to the public
A booksigning and reception will follow the lecture.

Department.
