Synopsis
One of the last things Walt Whitman wrote before he fell seriously ill in 1888 was a short essay comparing the ways in which William Shakespeare and George Fox nourished the human spirit. In this book, the authors take a new look at these two near-contemporaries from the 17th Century and give us a chance to reach our own conclusions, before coming back to the insights which Whitman knew they had given him.
