The Literary History of Philadelphia, written by Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer and first published in 1906, is a comprehensive account of the literary culture and history of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The book explores the city's rich literary tradition, from the earliest colonial period to the turn of the 20th century. Oberholtzer delves into the lives and works of many of Philadelphia's most notable literary figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and many others. He also examines the city's literary institutions, such as libraries, bookstores, and literary clubs, and discusses the impact of Philadelphia's literary culture on the wider world of American literature. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American literature and the role that Philadelphia played in shaping that history. It is written in a scholarly yet accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
