"A work of integrity, vision, and authority, Emily Dickinson's Music Book and the Musical Life of an American Poet stands as a ground-breaking volume that not only explores the musical life of a poet but, perhaps most crucially, situates the poet as (foremostly) an innate musician."-The Emily Dickinson Journal
"Emily Dickinson's Music Book and the Musical Life of an American Poet is a treasure trove of details about music and music education in nineteenth-century America. By far, Boziwick's book is the most detailed and extensive study yet of the music in Dickinson's personal collection. His is a fascinating contribution to Dickinson scholarship."-Sandra Runzo, author of "Theatricals of Day": Emily Dickinson and Nineteenth-Century American Popular Culture
"Boziwick makes a significant contribution to the field by providing the first in-depth examination of Emily Dickinson's music book, shedding light on its sheets of music and illuminating them for all who are interested in the musical life of the poet."-Victoria N. Morgan, author of Emily Dickinson and Hymn Culture: Tradition and Experience
"This book gives Emily Dickinson's musicianship its most in-depth examination to date . . . Scholars and enthusiasts seeking a book about Dickinson's musical life and her soundscape must read this monograph."-Review 19
"I am excited to see what Dickinson scholars make of the wealth of information and new paths of critical inquiry [this book] provides."-Gerard Holmes, The Emily Dickinson International Society Bulletin
