Diary Notes Of A Visit To Walt Whitman And Some Of His Friends In 1890, With A Series Of Original Photographs

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”.
