Walt Whitman and his Fellowship of Supporters in Bolton, 1891-1913
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was an American beat poet and essayist. This collection contains letters, photographs and other material produced by the Bolton Whitman Fellowship during the period 1891-1913. Whitman maintained an active correspondence with the group and his inner-circle continued this tradition long after the poet’s death. The correspondence is an essential resource for the reader-oriented study of English-language poetry in the 19th century.
Warry has just come in & made the bed - a sudden quite heavy shower - loving salutations to you, to Wallace & to all the friends
