Stedman examines the causes of certain American poets’ successes and failures. He discusses “Early and Recent Conditions, ” the “Growth of the American School, ” as well as poets such as Whittier, Lowell, Whitman, Longfellow, and Poe. This 1885 volume is a sequel to his earlier Victorian Poets (1875); the two works formed the most symmetrical body of literary criticism yet published in the United States up to that time.
