摘要：艾米莉·狄金森生于馬薩諸塞州的阿莫斯特,是美國最富傳奇性，也是最孤獨、自閉的偉大女詩人,寫過一千七百多首令人耳目一新的短詩，但生前只發(fā)表了7首。她一生未嫁，很少與外界接觸，時常身穿白衣，與花園為伴，過著隱居的生活，但這種平淡的生活并沒有抹去她的創(chuàng)作靈感，相反的是，她的頭腦里充滿了豐富的想象力，對永生，死亡，自然有獨到的認識和見解。對她，孤獨并不可怕，也不會毀了一個人，反而更能安撫生命的苦惱與騷動，活出自己的價值來。她的詩風(fēng)獨特，以文字細膩、觀察敏銳、意象突出著稱，善于運用比喻，象征，將她天馬行空的想象發(fā)揮到極致。她珠輝玉麗般的獨特詩句，凝聚著深厚的情感和創(chuàng)造性的智慧. 迪金森的愛情詩里，有強烈表達的眷戀，已經(jīng)證明不可能知道誰她的感情對象，也不知道她的詩歌想象成分有多少。她作品里的首要緊迫感來源不同，有她無力接受那個時代的正統(tǒng)宗教信仰，還有她對精神安慰的渴望。她把永恒稱之為“洪水對象”，她既恭敬又反叛，用帶有絕望的不確定性的詩句，來修改信仰的可信陳述。她的詩句，因其格言形式而著稱，其機智，其韻律的微妙變化和押韻的無規(guī)則，其陳述的直接，和其大膽驚人的想象，贏得了20 世紀詩壇的廣泛稱贊并對其有重要的影響。1955年，她的完整的詩集一出版，不僅得到讀者的關(guān)注，也吸引了文學(xué)評論家。她被譽為美國最偉大，最有創(chuàng)造力的詩人。
    本文首先介紹艾米莉·狄金森的家庭成長背景，她的詩歌特點以及她在美國文學(xué)史上的地位。接著分析她詩歌中的意象與隱喻，意象與象征的運用，體會她意象的創(chuàng)作來源以及令人拍案叫絕的想象。她獨特的意象和想象形成一些詩里哥特式風(fēng)格，所以還談及哥特式風(fēng)格中的意象和創(chuàng)作手法。最后點評她對美國乃至世界文學(xué)的影響。
    本文意在探討艾米莉·狄金森的詩歌創(chuàng)作手法，從而更好地領(lǐng)會她詩歌的內(nèi)涵,但是這只是淺嘗而已，她的詩從某種角度說晦澀難懂，以后還需要不斷地學(xué)習(xí)和探索。

Images and Gothic Atmosphere in Emily Dickinson’s Poetry

Abstract

     Emily Dickinson，a recluse whose poetry was not published until after her death, wrote altogether 1,775 poems of startling originality and freshness. Since the complete edition of her poems was published in 1955, Emily Dickinson, with her poetry, has attracted more and more attention from the common readers as well as the literary critics. Emily Dickinson is considered one of the most original 19th Century American poets. She is noted for her unconventional broken rhyming meter and use of dashes and random capitalisation as well as her creative use of metaphor and overall innovative style.
 She was a deeply sensitive woman who questioned the puritanical background of her Calvinist family and soulfully explored her own spirituality, often in poignant, deeply personal poetry. Her poetry is sometimes brooding and sometimes joyous and celebratory. Her sophistication and profound intellect has been lauded by laymen and scholars alike and influenced many other authors and poets into the 21st Century.
 She is now widely regarded as one of the greatest and the most original poets in American history. This thesis attempts to explore the images and Gothic atmosphere, in which metaphors and symbols are frequently employed, so as to appreciate Dickinson’s poetry and aesthetic view.
