==Life==
Edgar Saltus was born in New York City on October 8, 1855 to Francis Henry Saltus and his second wife, Eliza Evertson. After two semesters at Yale University, Saltus entered Columbia Law School in 1878,〔David Weir, ''Decadent Culture in the United States'', 2008, pp.206–7.〕 graduating with a law degree in 1880.〔(New York State Literary Tree Person Detail for Edgar Evertson Saltus )〕 He wrote two books of philosophy: ''The Philosophy of Disenchantment'' (1885) focused on pessimism and in particular the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Eduard Von Hartmann,〔David Weir, ''Decadent Culture in the United States'', 2008, pp.26–30〕 while ''The Anatomy of Negation'' (1886) tried "to convey a tableau of anti-theism from Kapila to Leconte de Lisle".〔''The Anatomy of Negation'', p.10, cited in Weir, ''Decadent Culture'', pp.32–3〕
His elder half-brother Francis Saltus Saltus was a minor poet. Both brothers are buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
