The Dickinson Connection

Jump to Comments

Clark House was originally the homestead of Charles Clark and his sons, Charles H. and James D., who were friends of Emily Dickinson. Alfred Habegger, author of a definitive ED biography, “My Wars Are Laid Away in Books,” theorizes that a recently discovered photograph of Dickinson in middle age had been owned by James Clark, who may have served as a go-between for Emily and the unknown man she loved throughout most of her life. Could this rare photo have once been hidden in Clark House?
