AIFE MURRAY at Seattle Public Central Library |
Co-presented with THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Dickinson scholar Aífe Murray, creator of a mixed media installation and public art for "Word as Object: Emily Dickinson & Contemporary Art," at the Mead Art Museum of Amherst College, presents an illustrated talk based on her book, Maid as Muse: How Servants Changed Emily Dickinson's Life and Language (University of New Hampshire Press). Aífe Murray has conceived, and led walking tours of Amherst, Massachusetts, from the Dickinson servants' perspective. She was named the 2007 Scholar in Amherst by the Emily Dickinson International Society. "Imaginative, informative, and consistently lively. A deeply felt response to Dickinson's domestic context that amplifies our understanding of nineteenth-century American literary and social history." - Vivian Pollack.
