John Trumbull: Connecticut Wit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469609089)

The later years of his life having been devoted to law, the emphasis of this biography is on Trumbell's formative and creative years, particularly those spent at Yale as a member of a group of writers known as the Connecticut Wits. The most brilliant member of the group, Trumbell won the admiration of critics and a lasting place in American literature with two witty satirical poems, "The Progress of Dulness" and "M'Fingal." Originally published in 1936.
