The Letters of Anne Gilchrist and Walt Whitman is a collection of personal correspondence between two literary figures of the 19th century. Anne Gilchrist, a British writer and women's rights activist, became enamored with the poetry of Walt Whitman, an American poet known for his unconventional style and celebration of nature and democracy. Their letters span from 1876 to 1885 and reveal a deep intellectual and emotional connection between the two writers. The letters discuss a range of topics, including literature, politics, and personal struggles. They also reveal the impact that Whitman's poetry had on Gilchrist's life, as she credits him with helping her find a sense of purpose and meaning. The book offers a unique insight into the lives and minds of two literary giants and their relationship during a pivotal time in American and British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
