The article, "American Lives," presents well-known books related to education in the United States. One of these books is, My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson. This novel is a biography of Emily Dickinson from a young age and discusses her struggles growing up with her family. It talks about how she had a strict male-run family and how her decision to branch out with poetry and letters was a conscious one. This novel also explains how her life was different from how it had been recently depicted in previous literature and critic reviews. For example it proves how the judgments stated 20 years ago by critic Alan Tate, "All pity for Miss Dickinson's starved life," are misguided. The article suggests that "her life was one of the richest and deepest ever lived on this continent."
