TRAUBEL, Horace L.; BUCKE, Richard Maurice; HARNED, Thomas B. (eds.)
Essays and poetic tributes by the editors and others, including Whitman himself. Perhaps most interesting are the extracts from letters written by Horace Traubel (1858-1919) to Whitman's friends in Britain. Traubel, not well known today, was an American poet, essayist, magazine publisher, and writer closely associated with the Arts and Crafts movement.. Many Canadians will be more familiar with the name of Richard Bucke, broadminded Superintendent of London's Insane Asylum. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life of Whitman.
