问题     Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white -- a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.
    In their determination to read Dickinson’s life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life -- her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce’s 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850’s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood."
According to the passage, biographers of Emily Dickinson have traditionally ______.
选项 A、criticized most of her poems
B、ignored her innocence and emotional fragility
C、seen her life in romantic terms
D、blamed her parents for restricting her activities
答案C
解析 文章指出，Dickinson传记的作者只看到她传统和浪漫的一面，所以C选项正确。A“批评她大部分的诗歌”，与文章内容不符。B“忽略了她的纯真和感情上的脆弱”，与文意正好相反。D“谴责其父母限制她的活动”，文中未提到。
