EDA provides high-resolution images of manuscripts of Dickinson's poetry, along with transcriptions and annotations from selected historical and scholarly editions. This first release focuses on gathering images of those poems included in The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Variorum Edition, edited by R. W. Franklin (Cambridge: Belknap Press of the Harvard University Press, 1998). This site is not a new edition of Dickinson's poems. It is, as its name says, an archive that seeks to make available in one virtual place those resources that seem central to the study of Dickinson's work: images of her manuscripts; a selection of editions of those manuscripts; and selected print and electronic resources that serve as a starting point for the study of Dickinson's manuscripts.
