Description and Table of Contents
Description
A social, cultural, and literary history of the New York literary scene between 1833 and 1857, this book focuses on the long battle between the conservative Lewis Gaylord Clark, the editor of the influential "Knickerbocker", and his camp, and the democratic Evert Duyckinck, a Wiley and Putnam editor who commissioned works by both Poe and Melville and the "Young America" over the direction that American literature should take.
