Julie Dobrow

“Mesmerizing... If you’re interested in [Emily Dickinson], intellectual property issues, or juicy behind-the-scenes literary history, After Emily is your book.” — Michael Dirda, Washington Post

“Long overdue... At the end of her book, Ms. Dobrow wonders what Mabel and Millicent would think of her good work. Doubtless, they’d be very pleased.” — Brenda Wineapple, Wall Street Journal

“[Dobrow] serves as a kind of fiercely clever detective in stitching together Todd’s remarkable influence and all the other little intrigues behind the marketing of Dickinson and her legacy.” — American Scholar

“Dobrow's skillful account of Mabel's and Millicent's lives makes this page-turner a must-read for the poet's most ardent fans.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“[Dobrow] recount[s], with sympathy and nuance, Todd's near obsession with editing Dickinson... [A] fresh, remarkable account.” — Kirkus (starred review)

“Dobrow authoritatively traces the tortuous editorial and publication process that first brought Dickinson's work to public attention, and sensitively explores her subjects' interior lives... Impeccably researched...Dobrow's narrative gives a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two tireless advocates for Dickinson's work.” — Publishers Weekly
