Emily Dickinson is one of the most widely read and well-known American poets. Although there were just seven po-ems published during her lifetime, she was brought to many people’s attention. Some people believe that Dickinson is a real ro-mantic but others think she is a transcendentalist. However, both the factors of romanticism and transcendentalism can be seen in her character indeed.

If all the factors are taken into account, Emily Dickinson can fall into the category of both ro-manticism and transcendentalism.
