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.
