Focusing on actual publications "by" Whitman rather than those
"about" him, Joel Myerson's painstakingly compiled supplement to
his 1993" Walt Whitman: A Descriptive Bibliography" (Oak Knoll,
ISBN 0-82293-739-5) includes almost twenty years of newly
discovered and updated materials that will be invaluable to Whitman
scholars. The entries describe in detail the various forms of
Whitman's books, newspaper articles, broadsheets, reprints,
translations, and so on. Myerson includes facsimiles of title pages
as well as information on pagination, illustrations, dimensions,
contents, publication history, typography, paper, binding, and dust
jackets. The sections incorporate the following: all books and
pamphlets written wholly by Whitman through 1892, the year of his
death, and all editions and reprintings in English through 2009;
all collected editions of Whitman's writings through 2009; all
miscellaneous collections of his writings through 2009; all books
in which material by Whitman appears for the first time; all first
American and English publications in newspapers and magazines of
material by Whitman through 2009; all proof copies as well as
circulars and broadsides of his poetry and prose published during
his lifetime; prose and poetry by Whitman reprinted in books and
pamphlets through 1892; separate publications of individual poems
and prose works through 2009; and references to possible
publications by Whitman that are not dealt with elsewhere in the
bibliography. The volume is thoroughly indexed. Based on evidence
gathered from personal inspection of multiple copies of Whitman's
works in American, Canadian, British, and New Zealand libraries,
Myerson's "Supplement" exemplifies the highest standards of
bibliographic research.
