How Emily Dickinson did not live a life devoid of adventure and romance. How Henry David Thoreau inspired Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. How Herman Melville anticipated the thoughts and ideas of Sigmund Freud. How Kate Chopin portrayed adultery with a sympathetic eye and was ostracized for doing so.
