Algernon Sidney Crapsey
Algernon Sidney Crapsey: “The Last of the Heretics,” is a biography about a man whose life reflected the religious, social and cultural conventions of late nineteenth and early twentieth century America.

Complete Poems and Collected Letters of Adelaide Crapsey
This book presents the poetry and letters of the American writer Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914).

American critic Yvor Winters praised her as "a minor poet of great distinction" and felt that her poe...
