Shaggy Muses: The Dogs Who Inspired Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edith Wharton, and Emily Bronte
By Maureen Adams
Ballantine, 299 pages, $24.95
Move over Marley. Make room for Carlo (Emily Dickinson’s giant Newfoundland). Or Flush (Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s golden cocker spaniel). Or, maybe, Keeper (Emily Bronte’s intimidating mastiff mix). In self-contained chapters of “Shaggy Muses,” the work of each author is viewed intimately within the context of the canine companions who provided love, comfort and inspiration.
