請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題          “Biography first convinces us of the fleeing of the Biographied,” wrote Emily Dickinson, America’s most famousfemale poet of the 19th century, uncannily foreseeing how inscrutable a subject she herself would turn out to be. Ratherlike Emily Brontë, with whom she identified, Dickinson shrank from contact with the world, scuttling off in hersignature white dress as soon as a visitor appeared at the door. Reluctant to share her pared-down, laser-sharp andsometimes terrifying inward poems through publication—only seven were printed in her lifetime—she neverthelessrelied on an iron core of self-belief, quietly prophesying that posterity would recognize her genius.            Dickinson’s externally uneventful life has been chronicled before, but Brenda Wineapple finds a new way in byfocusing on her relationship with the man who would eventually help to bring her to the public gaze after her death.Thomas Wentworth Higginson has usually been patronized as a second-rater who bungled the transmission ofDickinson’s work by allowing too much editorial tempering, a man whose bourgeois conventionality tried to silence awoman poet’s true voice. Yet Ms. Wineapple responds to him with compassion and respect, and in doing so makes herbook much more than a biography—rather, a sweeping cultural and political history of the lead-up to the Americancivil war and its aftermath.
