Literary Harvest of 1855 Echoes Through Time
A centennial reminiscence traces 1855 as a landmark year in literature. The era yielded Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha, Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, Dickens’s Little Dorrit, and notable works by Irving, Macaulay, Prescott, Kingsley, Thackeray, Bartlett, Alcott, and Alger. The piece ponders whether 1955 might rival that prolific bloom.
