Publisher's Synopsis
The Letters of Anne Gilchrist and Walt Whitman is a collection of intimate correspondence between the British writer Anne Gilchrist and the American poet Walt Whitman. Edited by Thomas B. Harnett, the book offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives and creative processes of two literary giants of the 19th century. The letters cover a period of over a decade, from 1876 to 1887, during which Gilchrist and Whitman developed a deep and affectionate friendship. They discuss a wide range of topics, including literature, politics, spirituality, and personal experiences. The letters also reveal the profound impact that Whitman's poetry had on Gilchrist's life and work, as well as the ways in which their relationship was shaped by their shared commitment to social justice and democratic ideals. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of literature, history, and gender studies, as well as for anyone interested in the life and work of these two influential writers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
