Description

Hardcover, green cloth in publisher’s price-clipped dust-jacket. 489 pages. Index. First edition. A biography that places Whitman firmly as a man of his time, with comparisons to other writers of the age such as Emerson, Thoreau, Browning and Dickinson, among others, arguing he was above all an “ethical humanist”. No previous ownership marks. A clean, tight, and unmarked copy. Dust-jacket shows light edge-wear and shelf-wear. Very good in a good dust-jacket.
