Whitman, Pater, and "An English Poet"

Author:

Abstract

Shows how Walter Pater's "suppression" in 1889 of his 1876 reference to Whitman and his reluctance to complete "An English Poet" "converge as textual events" to reveal Pater's "anxious interest in Whitman" which he tried to hide from his own readers.
