William Cullen Bryant

Opis

Journalists, 19th-century historians and political history readers should all find this volume of William Cullen Bryant's editorials for the New York Evening Post to be a valuable resource. Renowned as America's premier poet, Bryant's ideas and ideologies were deeply woven into the political, social and cultural life of New York and the nation. As chief editor and principal owner of the New York Evening Post for 51 years, Bryant's prose became equally influential, punctuated as it was with his characteristic ironic wit and clear-headed arguments which cut to the heart of the issue at hand.
