Whitman: A Study

'Whitman: A Study' is a collection of essays about Walt Whitman, written by John Burroughs. Burroughs and Whitman were close friends until Whitman's death, and it was Whitman who encouraged Burroughs to develop his nature writing as well as his philosophical and literary essays. Burroughs has also previously published 'Notes on Walt Whitman as Poet and Person', which is the first biography and critical work on the poet.
