Edwin Percy Whipple (1819-1886), was a literary editor, essayist, and critic. Born in Massachusetts, he was a member of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s literary circle, which sometimes made exercising the profession of literary critic difficult. Whipple wrote Character and Characteristic Men (1866), Literature of the Age of Elizabeth (1876), Recollections of Eminent Men (1887), Literature and Politics, and a two-volume study of Charles Dickens (1912).
