Edited by William WhiteThis collection makes available once again these important sources for reference on the poets daily activities. The sixteen-year record of the Daybooks supplements the biographical information provided in the six volumes of Whitmans Correspondence, and outlines the events of the poets life which gave rise to his many letters and literary reminiscences. The Daybooks record the poets daily activities, functioning as an account book, diary, journal, commonplace book, and notebook all in one.
