This visualization uses a force-directed network layout to map Emily Dickinson’s poem “Tie the strings to my life, my Lord” and its textual variants from the TEI-encoded XML source. It shows how alternate word choices and editorial emendations branch from each line, revealing the poem’s structural decisions. The graph is built with `d3.forceSimulation`, where nodes represent individual words or variant readings and links connect sequential lines, with `d3.drag` for interaction. Node size encodes word frequency, and color distinguishes the manuscript (MS) from the 1896 print witness, using `d3.scaleOrdinal`. Hovering triggers `transition.attrTween` to highlight variant paths, while the layout is computed asynchronously from parsed XML via `DOMParser`.
