Basato sul dramma di Susan Sontag, "Alice in Bed", il personaggio di Emily Dickinson è trattato secondo citazioni tratte dalla corrispondenza di Emily Dickinson che aiutano Alice [James] ad uscire dalla sua vita di frustrazioni. L'autrice esamina la creazione di Dickinson da parte di Sontag in quanto prodotto delle identità multiple e a volte ambigue svelate grazie ad una rigorosa indagine filologica. Il lavoro di Sontag non era ancora stato valutato, all’epoca della pubblicazione, a fronte della ricca corrispondenza dickensoniana.
Based on a play by Susan Sontag, "Alice in Bed", the character Emily Dickinson is treated mainly according to quotations taken from her correspondence to help Alice [James] get out of her frustrating life. The author examines Sontag's creation of Dickinson as a product of the poet's multiple and at times ambiguous identities being unveiled thanks to a rigorous philological inquiry. Sontag’s research had not been evaluated yet with reference to her rich correspondence.
