Alfred Habegger’s My Wars Are Laid Away in Books is not just a biography—it’s a deep excavation into the life, mind, and cultural context of Emily Dickinson. With nearly 800 pages of rich detail, Habegger brings clarity to the poet’s formative years, her complex relationships, and the forces that shaped her famously private existence. What sets this book apart is its use of previously unpublished letters, legal records, and women’s writings of the time to illuminate Dickinson’s inner world. Habegger doesn’t shy away from the big questions—her sexuality, her resistance to publishing, and the spiritual tensions that fueled her verse. The result is a nuanced, humanizing portrait that balances scholarly rigor with narrative grace. If you’ve ever been captivated by Dickinson’s riddling poetry and wanted to understand the woman behind the lines, this biography is essential reading. It’s not just about her—it’s about the world she quietly transformed. Review: AUDIOBOOK, PLEASE! - Yes, this is still the BEST biography. Wonderful. I use it all the time and know I can rely on its scholarship. However, message to the publisher: WHEN WILL YOU PUT THIS IN AUDIOBOOK FORMAT????????? I'd like to listen to it again and again and again while I do other things. This book deserves an audiobook version. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #902,194 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,673 in Author Biographies #3,162 in Literary Criticism & Theory #6,575 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (116) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 1.81 x 8 inches | | Edition | 60152nd | | ISBN-10 | 0812966015 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0812966015 | | Item Weight | 1.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 800 pages | | Publication date | September 17, 2002 | | Publisher | Random House Publishing Group | ## Images ![My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson (Modern Library (Paperback)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612I2o7lDcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unraveling the Enigma of Emily Dickinson *by B***O on July 14, 2025* A masterfully researched portrait of America’s most elusive poet.

I use it all the time and know I can rely on its scholarship. However, message to the publisher: WHEN WILL YOU PUT THIS IN AUDIOBOOK FORMAT????????? I'd like to listen to it again and again and again while I do other things. This book deserves an audiobook version. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Narrow margins *by T***R on August 30, 2023* This is probably an excellent book but I am returning it immediately. The margins are less that 1/4 inch and the top and bottom of each page is not much more than that. It would be impossible to make any notes at all. Astonished that Amazon doesn't even mention a hardcover edition. I'll have to try a real bookstore. ## Frequently Bought Together - My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson (Modern Library (Paperback)) - The Life of Emily Dickinson - The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/11035859-my-wars-are-laid-away-in-books-the-life-emily](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/11035859-my-wars-are-laid-away-in-books-the-life-emily) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
