What's left behind the scenes

In reality, Emily Dickinson never achieved fame during her lifetime, although it remains unclear how strongly she sought fame specifically through her poetry. Very few of Dickinson's poems (fewer than a dozen) were published during her life, and they were published under a pseudonym. Only after Dickinson's death did her sister Lavinia (played on screen by Anna Baryshnikov) find a cache of Dickinson's poems and publish them.
The dialogue in some scenes is based on statements found in Emily Dickinson's letters.
Many of the series' characters were given the names of real-life contemporaries of the poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). This applies, in particular, to the characters played by Sophie Zucker and Allegra Hart (Abby and Abiah, respectively); however, in this project they are portrayed as enemies of the main character, whereas in reality, they were her close friends.
