This 1898 book contains various accounts of the author's personal experiences with Walt Whitman and some of his closest friends. Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892) was an American essayist, poet, and journalist who was pivotal to the transition from transcendentalism to realism. His work was notably divisive and claimed by many to be obscene when first published, but he is now considered to be one of the most influential people in the American poetic canon and the father of free verse. Contents include: A Visit to Walt Whitman in 1877, Walt Whitman in 1884, Notes and Appreciations, Whitman as a Prophet, The Poetic Form of 'Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman's Children, Whitman and Emerson, etc. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the life and work of Whitman, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
