About this Item

The British author recalls becoming familiar with Whitman's writings while a student at Cambridge, then traveling to America to meet him in 1877 & again for a few visits in 1884. The notes from those visits were used to create this book, in which he also addresses Whitman's relationship with the child/children he may have had & with Ralph Waldo Emerson, & explores the notion of Whitman as a "prophet." Orig. published in May 1906 & in a Second Edition in Dec. of that same year, this is a Reprint from Sept. 1921, in 187 pages + 3 pages listing some of this author's other works. Hardcover 12mo (5.25" x 7.5") has light olive green cloth over boards, stamped with bright gilt lettering to front & spine.
