Abstract | A typed transcription of Emily Dickinson's poem "Cocoon above! Cocoon below!". The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Dickinson's poems produced by Mabel Loomis Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd’s own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. Editor's marks, notations, and alternate wording are written on the transcript in pencil. "Chrysalis" is written in pencil above the typed transcription and a penciled note at the bottom of the page states "Title and correction by T.W. Higginson. This has not been noted in the variorum edition." The note is signed M.T.B. and is likely referring to Millicent Todd Bingham. A similar unattributed note is written on the reverse. |
Notes | The item is undated. The date range is based on the year Emily Dickinson died and the year the final volume of Dickinson's poems and letters that Mabel Loomis Todd edited was published. |
