About this book
Born in Portland, Maine, on 20 January 1806, Nathaniel Parker Willis was a poet, magazine editor and foreign correspondent who lived much in public view. Henry A. Beers wrote his life for the American Men of Letters series, using printed sources alongside private letters and journals supplied by Willis's family.
The chapters follow Willis through his ancestry and boyhood, college, Boston and the American Monthly, and two chapters on life abroad. They go on to Glenmary, the Corsair and the New Mirror, a third visit to England, the Home Journal, and his last years at Idlewild. A bibliography and index close the volume.
