Cambridge Forum is pleased to present LYNN MARGULIS as she discusses Hans Werner Luescher’s (b. Switzerland, 1901- d. California 1991) lifework to decode Emily Dickinson. Her “life like a loaded gun” (Lyndall Gordon), the "woman in white", Emily Dickinson, arguably, wrote the greatest poetry in 19th century English. Luescher wrote (to T. J. Wilson, Director, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, April 19, 1962): “In the course of my painstaking analysis of the symbols, similes and parables contained in Emily Dickinson’s poems, I have come to discover the central fact in the life of the poet.” Lynn will talk about Luescher’s opus and its relation to Ruth Owen Jones’ far more reliable identification of Emily's Master figure.
