Abstract:
Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 in a small American town called Amherst.
She has rightly been described as “A Poet Restored”. The most surprising thing about
Dickinson is that she has deliberately adopted a life of privacy and seclusion. Emily
Dickinson's unique contributions to American literature are her poetic treatment of the
themes of death, immortality and God. Some of her poems on death deal with the sensations
of the dying person or the physical experiences as the soul leave the body. The main objective
of this research is to analyse philosophical, religious and supernatural elements in Emily
Dickinson's Poetry. A large number of her poems explore the nature of pain, its stages and its
effects upon the human soul and finally its relation with death, immortality and God. Emily's
poems deal with misery, anguish and despair are closely related to her philosophy of life. The
range of her poetry deals with the treatment of death varies from a philosophical examination
of death's relation with love to a grim consideration of its physical processes. This paper
analyses how pain elevated man new heights establishing an aristocratic bond with others
who experience similar anguish. The poems express philosophical, religious and
supernatural ideas in life. Analytical, descriptive and comparative methods will be used in
this research paper. Data is collected from texts, books, Journals, magazines and articles.
This research paper will be helpful to expand students' skills and ability in research field and
enlighten their knowledge in Emily Dickinson's poetry and English literature
