The Times of Melville and Whitman by Brooks, Van Wyck is a literary and historical analysis of the mid-19th century in America, focusing on the lives and works of two of the most prominent writers of the era: Herman Melville and Walt Whitman. The book examines the social, cultural, and political climate of the time, including the impact of the Civil War and the changing attitudes towards slavery and race. It also delves into the personal lives and experiences of Melville and Whitman, exploring their struggles with success and failure, their relationships with their families and peers, and their creative processes. Through a combination of biographical information, literary analysis, and historical context, Brooks provides a comprehensive understanding of the times in which Melville and Whitman wrote and the impact of their works on American literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
