Browning and Whitman: A Study in Democracy is a book written by Oscar Lovell Triggs and published in 1893. The book is a comparative study of the works of two celebrated poets of the 19th century, Robert Browning and Walt Whitman. Triggs examines the similarities and differences in the poets' views on democracy, individualism, and the role of the artist in society. He argues that both poets were champions of democracy and individual freedom, but that they approached these ideals in different ways. Browning, he argues, was more concerned with the individual's moral responsibility to society, while Whitman celebrated the individual's freedom and self-expression. Triggs also explores the influence of the poets' personal experiences and cultural backgrounds on their work. Overall, the book provides a fascinating insight into the works of two of the most important poets of the 19th century and their contributions to the development of democratic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
