S1E7: "Like science fiction in reverse" w/Evie Shockley
Manage episode 353295375 series 3008697
It’s Election Day, and Rep. Edward Dickinson is showing his true colors, culminating in a literal blow to Emily.
Was Edward Dickinson dead set against his daughter becoming a poet? Can his refusal to embrace abolitionism be traced to the fact that both his and his wife's family fortunes depended on enslaved labor? And if her family hadn't profited from slavery, would Emily Dickinson have had the space to write the poems we continue to revere?
Breezy, Jericho, and Aífe, joined by special guest, poet and scholar Evie Shockley, talk back to Season 1, Episode 7 of Dickinson: “We lose — because we win”
+++
Learn more about what our researcher Anna Smith uncovered about the ties between the Dickinsons' family wealth and enslavement:
