Misrepresentation in Literary Criticism (three interpretations of E. Dickinson’s "Success Is Counted Sweetest")
The paper discusses the ubiquitous and frequent practice of misrepresentations of the poetic text in the literary criticism. A comparative analysis of three articles, which analyze E.

As a solution to the current practices leading to significant misrepresentations, the paper comes up with an analytical method based on a series of reconstructive procedures that impose the relevant frames which set the parameters for identifying the meaning of the poem in a comprehensive and non-contradictory manner
