"You know it is customary": Emily Dickinson and Nineteenth-Century Epistolary Practice considers Emily Dickinson's letter writing, particularly her letters from 1842-1856, in terms of nineteenth-century conventional epistolary practices and expanding postal service access. This dissertation argues that Dickinson's rhetorical excellence, rather than her unconventional letter content or epistolary practice, differentiated her letters from those of her contemporaries. Additionally, this dissertation corrects characterizations of Dickinson as a sensitive individual who felt abandoned by friends and who discontinued friendships when her friends married. Rather, Dickinson's friendships align with nineteenth-century norms that include maintaining friendships after marriage and familial epistolary address. This study also provides evidence of informal and formal letter-writing education using letters and documents of women who were raised or educated in Amherst, Massachusetts, to show ways Dickinson's distinctive voice in her letters of the 1840s and 1850s aligned with typical letter-writing format and subjects. By the early 1850s, Dickinson's developing epistolary voice includes poetic language that suggests her future poetry. This dissertation focuses on six of Dickinson's friendships-with Abiah, Harriette, Sarah, and Abby in her early epistolary network; with Emily Fowler Ford in adolescence and adulthood; and with Helen Hunt Jackson in middle-age-to situate how Dickinson's writing excellence occurred within letter-writing norms.
