  Extending the critical discussion which has focused on the hymns of Isaac Watts as an influence on Emily Dickinson's poetry, this study brings to bear the hymnody of Dickinson's female forbears and contemporaries and considers Isaac Watts' position as a Dissenter for a fuller understanding of Dickinson's engagement with hymn culture.
