The beat poet, Walt Whitman, exchanged these letters with his fans in Bolton
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was an American beat poet and essayist. This collection contains letters, photographs and other material produced by the Bolton Whitman Fellowship during the period 1891-1913. Whitman maintained an active correspondence with the group and his inner-circle continued this tradition long after the poet’s death. The correspondence is an essential resource for the reader-oriented study of English-language poetry in the 19th century.
