Emily Dickinson’s extreme boldness in her poetry has discouraged many of the critics, although the public has acquired her wide volumes of work. To no volume of general appreciation has Dickinson’s poetry received tribute or literary criticism. At times there have been essays that evaluate the sharpness and originality of viewpoint of her poems. Many flattering statements have been made to express the great ardor of the critic without coming to close to defining Dickinson’s contribution to literature. In the magazine "The Southern Review (1937)" by R.P. Blackmur, there are articles that describe Dickinson as a second-rate poet. Dickinson’s earlier poems were reviewed with less enthusiasm from critics rather than the public. In the publics eyes Dickinson’s reputation was steadily secure. Instead of being popular in her lifetime and forgotten by posterity, Dickinson has always been as popular with posterity as she was unknown during her life. A wide range of audiences enjoyed Dickinson long before she becomes the literary fashion. Dickinson had always been popular by readers and imitated by writers. The American critics could only appreciate their finest lyrical poet when Dickinson’s own style had been popular in America by over half the century. The imaginative use of language, strict sense of form, the use of emotional and moral intensity and her profound subjectivity is what made Dickinson such a famous poet. Dickinson imperfect rhymes and her irregular rhythms draw in an audience with an ear for music. Critics seem to agree that Dickinson’s aggressiveness makes her masculine and her spiritual identity makes her feminine. The history of Dickinson’s fame proposes more support to the democrats rather than the aristocrats within in the world of literature. Dickinson has seemed to attract realist and the religiously inclined to her unprecedentedly sharp, mystic statements and specific imagery to her contemplative poems. Many social groups have come to adore Dickinson, such as, conformist have sought that Dickinson loves her environment and the rebels love that she rebelled against it; as optimist have found in her work hope, faith, and ideal beauty, while pessimist find her work to be a scorn of human life and stoical fortitude, and while one individual can see her piety another individual can see her atheism.
