Synopsis

A candid glimpse into Whitman’s heart and mind, told through letters to a young friend.
This edition gathers Walt Whitman’s letters from 1868 to 1880, written to a young man identified as P. and later called Peter Doyle. Accompanied by an introduction and chronological notes, it offers a direct, intimate view of the poet as adviser, companion, and observer during the postwar years. The material presents Whitman’s care for his correspondent, his reflections on friendship and love, and the quiet power of encouragement during illness, travel, and daily life.

• Experience Whitman’s voice in personal letters that illuminate his thoughts on companionship and love.


• See how the poet offers guidance, warmth, and practical support to a young friend.


• Learn about the editor’s framing, including the introduction by one of Whitman’s literary executors.


• Discover context through the included Chronological Notes and introductory materials.

Ideal for readers interested in Whitman’s private correspondence, the era’s social ties, and the human side of a foundational American poet.

Great for fans of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, literary biographers, and readers who enjoy intimate letter collections that reveal character beyond the public works.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
