Emily Dickinson
Given how well-known Emily Dickinson’s poetry is today, it’s surprising that she didn’t acquire much fame during her lifetime. In truth, just a few of the 1,800 poems she penned were published before her death in 1886. Dickinson, who was born in 1830, led a lonely and unhappy life. The photo above is the sole documented photo of her after childhood, which was shot in 1847.
