About This Item
New York: New York University Press, 1975. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Second Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover, library binding. 423 pages. New introduction by the author. Includes Notes, Bibliography and Index. This edition is the revised second edition, (first edition thus of this essential work.) "Generally considered America's leading Whitman scholar," Allen has evaluated the "...critical and analytical work done on Whitman with an assessment of the relative importance and significance of this work." In addition the book serves as an informal history of the scholarship of Whitman criticism and a de facto biography. Ex-library copy with stamps on top and bottom edges of bulked sheets, short notation in pencil on copyright page and bound in sturdy library binding of yellow buckram decorated in red on covers. Black marker spots to very upper fore-edge, not affecting interior pages. Else a clean, fresh, unmarked copy. Very good. .
