Juhasz, Miller, Smith: Comic Power in Emily Dickinson

While thumbing through books in front of the Emily Shelf (that's how I call the  PS1541 Z-- shelf at NTU, almost all books are devoted to Dickinson), I found one book I wouldn't want to miss for the whole world:

Juhasz, Suzanne, Cristanne Miller, and Martha Nell Smith. Comic Power in Emily Dickinson. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1993.

This book is composed of five chapters:

Chapter 1: Comedy and Audience in Emily Dickinson's Poetry
Chapter 2: The Big Tease by Suzanne Juhasz
Chapter 3: The Poet as Cartoonist by Martha Nell Smith
Chapter 4: The Humor of Excess by Cristanne Miller
Chapter 5: Comic Power

Before I have enough time to play the role of a responsible reader and blogger, here are two reviews for your reference:
