by WilliamC.Spengemann (Author)
Describes the very different sorts of poetry Whitman, Dickinson, and Melville wrote, their comparable reasons for writing as they did, and the posthumous critical effects of their having done so. This book illuminates the poets' efforts to create verse equal to the demands of a changing nineteenth century.
