Tolerance and Elimination in Whitman's "Land of all Ideas": A Complex Prose Manuscript and a Previously Unknown Letter Fragment

Abstract

Reproduces a previously unpublished Reconstruction-era Whitman prose manuscript, with, on one side, two paragraphs of a partial draft of the first installment of Whitman’s New York Weekly Graphic series, “’Tis But Ten Years Since,” and on the other side a fragment of a previously unknown letter; analyzes ways that the manuscript allows us to understand Whitman’s attack on extremism, whether it originated in the North or South.
