William Cullen Bryant (1794 - 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. "Thanatopsis" [1817, a meditation on death] is Bryant's most famous poem. He achieved recognition as one of America's leading poets around 1832, when his expanded Poems was published in the U.S. and, with the assistance of Washington Irving, in Britain. Handsome edition in lovely Art Nouveau binding.
