Emily Dickinson & Walt Whitman enter the blogosphere, with a whole age in train. (With help from Benjamin Friedlander.)

haven't even clicked the link, but wonder, when weren't Dickinson and Whitman in the Age of American poetry?

Hi Susana,

Ben's got a great post about this--it recalls the time when Whitman was out of favor, and Dickinson not yet recognized as major. I guess for a few minutes in the 20th century, the Age of American Poetry looked like Tuckerman and a phalanx of other three-barreled names that it's hard to find anymore outside of Ben's blog (though I know what you mean.)
