Abstract

Abstract:In an editorial note to Emily Dickinson's January 12, 1846 letter to Abiah Root, Thomas H. Johnson mis-identifies the David Parsons to whom Dickinson refers as the longtime pastor of the First Church. This essay corrects this record: the letter refers in fact to the pastor's son of the same name, a highly skilled machinist and clockmaker. The essay offers a brief history of this David Parsons and considers some of the ways Dickinson's familiarity with the local mechanical genius and clockmaker might inform our reading of some of her poems.

更正:大卫·帕森斯，机械师和钟表匠，在艾米莉·狄金森的信

摘要：在艾米莉·狄金森1846年1月12日写给阿比亚·鲁特的信的一篇社论中，托马斯·H·约翰逊误认了狄金森所说的第一教会的长期牧师大卫·帕森斯。这篇文章纠正了这一记录：这封信实际上指的是牧师的同名儿子，一位技艺高超的机械师和钟表匠。这篇文章简要介绍了这位大卫·帕森斯的历史，并考虑了狄金森对当地机械天才和钟表匠的熟悉可能会为我们阅读她的一些诗歌提供一些信息。
