Hi friends,

greatly beloved by generations past and present.

• The author Herman Melville and the poet Walt Whitman are icons
• Herman Melville the author and Walt Whitman the poet are icons
• The author named Herman Melville and the poet named Walt Whitman are great icons
• The author, Herman Melville, and the poet, Walt Whitman, are icons
• Herman Melville, the author, and Walt Whitman, the poet, had been icons

Please help.

IMO E.
"greatly beloved by generations past and present."
Should be using had been here as past and present both are involved.

D is quoting a list of four people here namely the author, Melville, the poet, and Whitman. It changes the original sentence which talks about only two people.

I agree with cyrwr1 -- grammatically, D lists three people. One would expect "the author Herman Melville" in the initial position.
