In this, the only book-length critical study of Stickney, Amberys R. Whittle demonstrates that far from being "a representative late nineteenth century American poet," as he has been characterized, Trumbull Stickney was a lyricist marked by individuality and steeped in cultures very different from that of his native land. The lived most of his life (1874-1904) abroad and had a profound knowledge of classical literature, the European literature of his time, and the literature of India, all in the original languages.
