"Early Letters of George Wm. Curtis to John S. Dwight; Brook Farm and Concord" by George William Curtis

George William Curtis was an American writer and public speaker born in Providence, Rhode Island. An early Republican, he spoke in favor of African-American equality and civil rights both before and after the Civil War. His letters to Dwight, a transcendentalist, America's first influential classical music critic, show that, while politics might have been his forte, Dwight was able to discuss multiple matters of culture. Complete with a concise biography of the author, this book brings a lesser-known historic figure in America to light.
