What

Although considered one of the most important poets in American history, Emily Dickinson spent most of her life as a recluse. That makes this series more intriguing, as it'll be a coming-of-age story exploring Dickinson's teenage years, with Steinfeld taking on the main role in what's being billed as a comedy series. Though set in the 1800s it will have a modern sensibility, and is set to explore "the constraints of society, gender and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn’t fit in to her own time through her imaginative point of view."

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
