Whitmans & Dickinsons contemporaries: an anthology of their verse: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Whitmans & Dickinsons contemporaries: an anthology of their verse" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were not the poetic stars of their day; only a few friends knew that Dickinson wrote, and Whitmans following was minuscule, if influential. But the contemporaries who eclipsed these major poets now have largely disappeared from our literary landscape. In this distinctive anthology, Robert Bain gathers together thirteen other scholars to re-present the poetry of these former luminaries, allowing readers to rediscover them, reconstruct the poetic contexts of their age, and better understand why Whitman and Dickinson now overshadow other poets of their time. Arranged chronologically according to the birth dates of the poets, this anthology introduces each poets work, providing biographical information and discussing the major forms and themes of the work. Each introduction places the poet in a literary and historical context with Whitman and Dickinson and provides a bibliography of secondary sources.This remarkable book recovers a part of our literary heritage that has been lost.
