Emily Dickinson
 Introduction
   Currently, researchers are paying more and more attention to the work of women writers, poets, who
have long remained on the periphery of literary studies. It is impossible to reason with good reason about
many phenomena of the world literary process (for example, about the English novel, American and French
romanticism) without considering the work of women writers and poets.
 One of the brightest pages in the history of world women's literature that deserves the close attention of
researchers is the fate and work of the American poet Emily Dickinson. Her work, along with Whitman's,
defines the main contribution of American poetry to the world poetry of the second half of the XIX century.
 Thus, the choice of the topic of the graduate qualification paper and its relevance are due to the problem of
perceiving the forms of expression of the world of Emily Dickinson's personality as a single letter that needs
to be deciphered, creating a psychological portrait of the poetess based on her poetic creativity.
 The main purpose of the work was to study the artistic diversity of E. Dickinson's work by analyzing
the description of nature in her poems, as well as ways of translating descriptions of nature. In connection
with this goal, the following main tasks are solved in the work:
 • to show the variety of influences that contributed to the formation of the poetess' worldview, her poetic
creativity;
 • give a general analysis of Dickinson's poetry;
 • show the place of nature in the life and work of E. Dickinson
 • consider the features of the description of nature in Dickinson's poetry.
 • consider ways of translating descriptions of nature in the poetry of E. Dickinson.
 The object of the study is Emily's Dickinson poetic creativity.
 The subject of the study is the ways of describing nature in the poetry of E. Dickinson.
 Biography
 Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830, Amherst, Massachusetts — May 15,
1886, ibid.) During her lifetime, she published less than ten poems (most sources call the
numbers from seven to ten) out of one thousand eight hundred written by her. Even what
was published underwent a serious editorial revision in order to bring the poems in line
with the poetic norms of the time. Dickinson's poems have no analogues in contemporary
poetry. Their lines are short, the names are usually absent, and unusual punctuation and the
use of capital letters are often found. Many of her poems contain the motif of death and
immortality, the same themes permeate her letters to friends.Although most of her
acquaintances knew that Dickinson wrote poetry, the scale of her work became known
only after her death, when her younger sister Lavinia discovered unpublished works in
1886. The first collection of Dickinson's poetry was published in 1890 and was heavily
edited; a complete and almost unedited edition was released only in 1955. Although the
publications caused unfavorable reviews from critics in the late XIX and early XX century,
Emily Dickinson is now considered by critics as one of the greatest American poets. In
1985, the Dickinson crater on Venus was named in her honor.
 The future founder of the modernism style in literature was born and lived her
life in the small town of Amherst in Massachusetts, even at that time, notable
only for the presence of a large liberal arts college with an excellent
reputation. Her family was well-known, wealthy and very educated, so great
attention was paid to the upbringing of children. The quiet, obedient Emily
Elizabeth was the most diligent student — the elder brother Austin grew up to
be a daredevil, passionate, enthusiastic nature, and it was difficult for him to
sit in one place, and the younger sister Lavinia turned out to be too sociable
and restless to give in to the granig of science. Therefore, the middle daughter
had to meet the strict requirements of an ambitious father.

 The main problem of translation of poetry by E. Dickinson
 The first translations from Emily Dickinson published in Russian were made by Mikhail
Zenkevich. The "amazing metaphorist" (this is how Pasternak characterized Zenkevich)
probably felt a stylistically close beginning in Dickinson, but did not particularly single her
out, since he intended to build a "coherent picture of the whole" of American poetry over
two centuries. To be included in the "whole", he selected only four Dickinson poems, to
which he gave himself (absent in the original) precise rhymes, melodic melodic rhythm,
rather complex syntax and correct punctuation, but he carefully preserved imagery and
tonality.
 Conclusion
  
 In this graduate qualification paper, we came to the conclusion that the theme of
nature occupies a special place in the work of E. Dickinson. Here it echoes the philosophy
of the Boston "transcendentalists". It is in the ability to look at the world with a renewed
look, a look capable of seeing glimpses of the "spirit" in the material world, that the main
task of a person, especially a creative person, lies. It is the poetic artistic perception when
the dust of everyday life is blown away from nature and it (as Dickinson puts it) it seems to
be filled with "ghosts", helps to perceive the world spiritualized, meaningful and beautiful.
