 The New Criticism 

I've made some significant additions (and only a few changes).

""Reception"" is now ""Dickinson and her Critics"" - if this is offensive, then, by all means, change it back.

I expanded the quote by Blackmur - it's quite remarkable - and he's the only New Critic that Wolff cites in her ED biography.

The Winters and Tate quotes are classics of this ear of criticism.Mysweetoldetc. "
