+Horace Traubel+--poet, biographer.
Born at Camden, New Jersey, 1873, of part Jewish parentage. Worked as
newsboy, errand boy, printer's devil, proof reader, reporter, and
editorial writer. Editor of various publications, including _The
Conservator_. Died in 1919.
Mr. Traubel is best known for his association with Whitman as friend,
secretary, and literary executor. When Whitman went to Camden in 1873, he
became a member of the Traubel household; and Mr. Traubel's account of
his life there is of the greatest value for the study of Whitman.
Although Traubel's poetry was strongly influenced by Whitman, he worked
out a philosophy of his own which is worth study. An interesting
comparison can be made of his ideas with Whitman's and with Edward
Carpenter's (cf. Manly and Rickert, _Contemporary British Literature_).
