Legendary literary sketches and memory in early American verse
A condensed critique traces Halleck Moore and Clement C. Moore in 19th century verse and Knickerbocker tradition. It recalls Halleck’s elegy for a fallen friend and Moore’s influence from Doré and Kirchner era tales, noting “Visit From St. Nicholas” as a seminal children’s poem.
