Dickinson/Walser: Pencil Sketches
The exhibition Dickinson/Walser: Pencil Sketches brings together Emily Dickinson’s original manuscripts and Robert Walser’s microscripts for the first time in a museum setting. Accompanying the exhibition, this publication includes a selection of over eighty works culled from the Swiss National Library/Swiss Literary Archive, which houses Walser’s original manuscripts and first editions, and The Emily Dickinson Collection at Amherst College. It also features scholarly essays that explore the effects of textual form on the language itself, as both Dickinson and Walser crafted their words in response to the form at hand.
