[eng] This paper offers a holistic analysis of the relationship between the North American poetess Emily Dickinson and her sister-in-law Susan Huntington as it explores, at the same time, the possibility of it being unclassifiable. Their correspondence and the perception the female poet had of Huntington, expressed in several of her poetic pieces and missives to other correspondents such as her brother, are thoroughly examined. Moreover, an overview of the evolution of interactions among women throughout the 18th and 19th centuries and up as well as a review of the literature that has been published thus far about the poetess’ love-life and her potential lovers are provided. These serve as contextual tools so as to compare and contrast the nature of both women’s bond in relation to those deemed conventional in their timeframe and also concerning Dickinson’s relationships with her other potential lovers.

[spa] Aquest treball ofereix una anàlisi holística de la relació que van mantenir la poeta nord- americana Emily Dickinson i la dona del seu germà, Susan Huntington. A la mateixa vegada, explora la possibilitat que aquest vincle sigui inclassificable. Per tal de fer-ho, el treball examina tant la correspondència que ambdues van intercanviar al llarg de la seva relació, com la percepció que tenia la poetessa de Huntington, expressada en la seva poesia així com en les cartes que els enviava a altres corresponsals, com ara el seu germà. El treball també consta d’un resum sobre l’evolució de les interaccions entre dones al llarg dels segles XVIII, XIX fins l’època post-Freudiana i una anàlisi del que s’ha publicat fins ara en relació a la vida amorosa de la poetessa. Ambdues seccions tenen una funció contextual que permet comparar la relació que tenien les dues dones amb els vincles considerats convencionals a la seva època i amb les relacions que la poetessa hauria mantingut amb els seus altres possibles amants.
