Description

Trade paperback. 294 pages. Index. Brand new copy in publisher’s shrink wrap. American history in the nineteenth century was defined by immigration and in 1855, the first year “Leaves of Grass” was published, the Irish made up one of the largest immigrant populations, certainly in New York and Boston. It is through the prism of this juncture of history and poetry that the author focuses in arguing the mutual effect each had on the other. A brand new copy, unopened and still in original shrink wrap.
