In "Brother Copas," Arthur Quiller-Couch presents a masterfully woven narrative that delves into the intricacies of human relationships set against the backdrop of the Cornish countryside. With its rich, lyrical style, the novel captures the essence of early 20th-century English literature, intertwining elements of local folklore, existential exploration, and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Quiller-Couch employs a nuanced prose that elegantly reflects the atmospheric landscapes, inviting readers to deeply engage with the emotional landscapes of the protagonists as they navigate life's trials and tribulations. Arthur Quiller-Couch, a formidable figure of the Edwardian literary scene, was not only a novelist but also a renowned critic and scholar. His deep-rooted appreciation for storytelling and local history shines through in "Brother Copas," influenced by his own upbringing in Cornwall and a rich tradition of storytelling that permeates his work. Quiller-Couch's academic background, notably his tenure at Cambridge University, further enriched his perspective, allowing him to draw upon a wealth of literary traditions and styles in this poignant tale. Highly recommended for readers interested in literary fiction, "Brother Copas" offers an engaging blend of character study and social commentary.

    Walter Whitman 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. His work was controversial in its time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sensuality. Whitman's own life came under scrutiny for his presumed homosexuality.Born in Huntington on Long Island, as a child and through much of his career, he resided in Brooklyn. At age 11, he left formal schooling to go to work. Later, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, and a government clerk. Whitman's major poetry collection, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855 with his own money and became well known. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his death in 1892. During the American Civil War, he went to Washington, D.C. and worked in hospitals caring for the wounded. His poetry often focused on both loss and healing. On the death of Abraham Lincoln, whom Whitman greatly admired, he wrote his well-known poems, "O Captain! My Captain!" and "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd", and gave a series of lectures. After a stroke towards the end of his life, Whitman moved to Camden, New Jersey, where his health further declined. When he died at age 72, his funeral was a public event.Whitman's influence on poetry remains strong. Mary Whitall Smith Costelloe argued: "You cannot really understand America without Walt Whitman, without Leaves of Grass ... He has expressed that civilization, 'up to date,' as he would say, and no student of the philosophy of history can do without him." Modernist poet Ezra Pound called Whitman "America's poet ... He is America.
