Note(s) : "The lost novel of Walt Whitman" -- Front cover
In 1852, young Walt Whitman--a down-on-his-luck housebuilder in Brooklyn--was hard
at work writing two books. One would become one of the most famous volumes of poetry
in American history, a free-verse revelation beloved the world over, Leaves of Grass.
The other, a novel, would be published under a pseudonym and serialized in a newspaper.
A short, rollicking story of orphanhood, avarice, and adventure in New York City,
Life and Adventures of Jack Engle appeared to little fanfare. Then it disappeared.
No one laid eyes on it until 2016, when literary scholar Zachary Turpin, University
of Houston, followed a paper trail deep into the Library of Congress. -- Provided
