influential poem ever written by an American. This sourcebook and
critical edition provides easy access to: *information on the
contexts of Whitman's work, including biographical details and a
chronology *an overview of the critical reception of the poem and
extracts from important criticism, reprinted with clear
introductory headnotes *key passages from the original 1855
edition, with commentary and annotation *the full 'final' 1881
edition of the poem. Cross-references link the critical, contextual
and textual sections of the volume, encouraging an integrated
understanding of this creative and controversial text.
Complementing a wealth of material with suggestions for further
reading, this volume is ideal for readers with no knowledge of the
poem, or for those returning anew to a favourite text.
