Bayard Taylor: Laureate Of The Gilded Age is a biography of the American poet, journalist, and travel writer, Bayard Taylor. The book is written by Richmond Croom Beatty and provides a comprehensive account of Taylor's life and work during the Gilded Age, a period of rapid economic growth and cultural change in the United States.The book begins by tracing Taylor's early years, from his humble beginnings in rural Pennsylvania to his education at the Union Seminary in New York City. It then follows his career as a journalist and travel writer, documenting his travels to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and his interactions with notable figures of the time, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Abraham Lincoln.Throughout the book, Beatty explores Taylor's literary output, including his poetry, novels, and travel writing, and situates his work within the context of the Gilded Age. He also examines Taylor's role as a cultural ambassador, using his writing to promote American ideals and values abroad.Overall, Bayard Taylor: Laureate Of The Gilded Age offers a fascinating portrait of a writer and thinker who played a significant role in shaping American culture and identity during a period of great change and transformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
