What Season 2 of Dickinson

Season 2 pulls Emily out of her private literary life and throws her into the public eye. The trigger is Sam Bowles, a newspaper editor who wants to publish women's work and arrives through Sue. Emily hesitates about letting her poems come to light and starts to suspect that fame can be a dangerous game. The conflicts again revolve around 19th-century society, gender norms and a family still determined to marry her off. Sue, Austin and Lavinia remain key players in these tensions.
