I don't think there's much evidence that VF read ED's poems; and it's quite possible that, if she did, she didn't like them. "A Room of Ones Own" has that title because that's what VF thought that women writers needed - together with an income of 500 pounds - if they were going to match the best male writers. |

Sorry for the mental abberation above. VF should of course be VW (Virginia Woolf), |

Perhaps, but many sites for Emily Dickinson come up with this with a similar quotation - such as this one: Barnes & Noble.com - Poems of Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinson ... ABOUT THE BOOK. Poems of Emily Dickinson ... Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a desk ... This seems to be a quotation by someone else about ED's writing in seclusion, perhaps in the introduction to a early published volume of her works. Maybe someone can source the line. |
