About This Item
FIRST EDITION, first British issue, comprising the American sheets (1883) plus a new section (pp. 237-255), Dowden's work on the English critics of Whitman.
"An unconventional book, as much anthology of documents about the poet as a biography. It was also a collaboration; Whitman advised throughout, revised Bucke's text, and wrote significant portions of the book himself" (LeMaster, Walt Whitman, An Encylopedia). Bucke was one of Whitman's three literary executors.
Photo intaglio frontispiece portrait of Whitman by Gilchrist. Original olive-brown cloth. Short separation to cloth at bottom of rear joint. Very good.
