Emily Dickinson in Love: The Case for Otis Lord

The true identity of Emily Dickinson's great love has been eagerly sought for a century or more. In Emily Dickinson in Love, John Evangelist Walsh provides the first full-length work to solve this puzzle based wholly on documented facts and the poet's own writings. He identifies the lover as Otis Lord, a friend of the poet's father, and portrays the broad dimensions of their clandestine thirty-year romance. Supporting evidence is provided in a lengthy section of Notes and Sources.
