| Publisher Description: Life and Adventures of Jack Engle: An Auto-Biography by Walt Whitman, 1852. Life and Adventures of Jack Engle is a city mystery novel, published anonymously in 1852 and rediscovered in 2017. A quasi-Dickensian tale with more than a few unlikely plot twists and jarring narrative shifts -- a fun, rollicking, creative, twisty, bizarre little book. - The New York Times Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. |
