A part of the American Men of Letters Series, this 1906 volume was the first biography of Whitman published after his death in 1892. Perry draws on a rich collection of Whitman material including many letters between the poet and his friends and colleagues. Perry details the life and work of this literary giant in prose that is as interesting and engaging today as when it was written.
