The book ""Letters of William Michael Rossetti: Concerning Whitman, Blake and Shelley"" is a collection of personal letters written by William Michael Rossetti, a prominent writer and art critic of the Victorian era. The letters in this book discuss the works of three influential poets: Walt Whitman, William Blake, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Rossetti's letters provide a unique insight into the thoughts and opinions of a contemporary critic on the works of these poets. He discusses the themes, style, and literary techniques used by each poet, as well as their impact on the literary world. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on one of the poets.

The second section focuses on William Blake, the English poet and artist who is known for his visionary and mystical works. The final section is dedicated to Percy Bysshe Shelley, the English Romantic poet who is famous for his lyrical and political works.Overall, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the literary world of the Victorian era and the critical reception of some of the most influential poets of the time.
