The Classroom Electric: Spiders, the Web, and Dickinson & Whitman

Curated by ACT

Based on Emily Dickinson's poem "A Spider sewed at Night" and Walt Whitman's poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider," the authors of this site seek to "explore the nature of creativity, artistry, and audience." They bring together existing variants of each poem, offer an 1860 scientific article on spiders, share several critical analyses of each poem, and provide a series of study questions to help students critically analyze the poems on their own.
