Fifteen biographies of Whitman have been published since 1883, not counting biographical studies such as John Addington Symonds's Walt Whitman: A Study (1893), Edward Carpenter's Days with Walt Whitman (1906), Basil De Selincourt's Walt Whitman: A Critical Study (1914), Newton Arvin's Whitman (1938), or Frederick Schyberg's Walt Whitman (1951). Of these, at least two are adolescent or purely romantic biographies, Cameron Rogers's The Magnificent Idler: The Story of Walt Whitman (1926) and Frances Winwar's American Giant: Walt Whitman and His Times (1941). There are also "pre-biographies" or hagiographies written by close associates of the poet. The naturalist John Burroughs's Walt Whitman as Poet and Person (1867) was co-written by Whitman to promote the fourth edition of Leaves of Grass; William Douglas O'Connor's The Good Gray Poet, a forty-six-page pamphlet published in 1866, was done by an inspired enthusiast and (along with Burroughs) one of the poet's closest friends.

In fact, the "first" biography was also partly written, or revised, by Whitman, Richard Maurice Bucke's Wal
