This is a rare study of the letters and family books of Emily Dickinson from Amherst College and Harvard University libraries revealing Dickinson's poetic development, through her correspondence and reference to works of British writers and their influence on her work. This work proves her place in the canon of nineteenth-century literature is well-deserved. Emily Dickinson's letters have been neglected somewhat in her scholarship, as have nineteenth-century British writers despite the fact they are mentioned more in her letters than their American contemporaries. Led by these references, I examined the copies of the family books held at the Frost Library, Amherst College and in the Houghton Library, Harvard University. The examination of the texts and close readings of Dickinson's letters and poems shows that she formed a literary coterie made up of books to which she turned for inspiration. Written as a study to complement Karl Keller's The Only Kangaroo Among the Beauty (1979), this study reinforces Dickinson's place within the canon of 19th Century American writing. Keller reads Dickinson through American authors from Anne Bradstreet to Ralph Waldo Emerson. He succeeds in explicating Dickinson's relationship with these authors to show their importance in her evolution as a "vernacular poet." Because Dickinson's poetry seems to be unconventional at times, readers and critics have begrudgingly placed her within the canon of the nineteenth-century' I will show in the following chapters that she belongs there firmly.

This is a new scholarly narrative on artistic loners, creative misogynist and the eccentric personalities of some of history's most creative and inspiring adventurers, great thinkers, and writers whose lives and achievements are analyzed from an Asperger Syndrome perspective. The study examines the unique interplay between human creativity and the known disabilities afflicting individuals with Asperger and ADHD. There is a very close relationship between creativity and disability of one form or another. This has been recognized for thousands of years. Indeed Seneca stated that "no great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness" and John Dryden wrote "Great Wits are sure to Madness Near ally'd - and thin partitions do their bounds divide." In terms of the aetiology of creativity there is no doubt that genetic factors play a significant part. Persons with novelty / seeking personality traits, who have a genetic polymorphism called dopamine D4 show creativity of an artistic type or are great explorers. They are excited by the new, the unconventional and the innovative and examples here would be Ernest Shackleton and Arthur Koestler. Great creativity requires an unusual brain, a brain that is less integrated. It also requires personalities that are less balanced and outside the so called "normal personality". All these great creators paid a huge personal price for their creativity and for enriching our world.
