Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. Her parents were Edward and Emily Dickinson, and her fa
ther was an elected member of the House of Representatives. Additionally, she lived through the Great Revival, the abolitionist movement, and the Civil war. Despite her father's involvement in their community, Dickinson lived a life of seclusion.
The statement is true. Emily Dickison stayed for most of his life in his family's residence in Amherst, Massachusetts, and rarely left her house.
She dedicated most of her time to write poetry, and correspondence with a few friends, who rarely visited her (and Emily was not fond of visits either).
During the latter part of her life, she mostly stayed in her bedroom, probably also because she was suffering from an acute kidney disease that ended up killing her when she was 55 years old.
