Walt Whitman is one of the most innovative and influential American
poets of the nineteenth century. Focusing on his masterpiece Leaves
of Grass, this book provides a foundation for the study of Whitman
as an experimental poet, a radical democrat, and a historical
personality in the era of the American Civil War, the growth of the
great cities, and the westward expansion of the United States.
Always a controversial and important figure, Whitman continues to
attract the admiration of poets, artists, critics, political
activists, and readers around the world. Those studying his work
for the first time will find this an invaluable book. Alongside
close readings of the major texts, chapters on Whitman's biography,
the history and culture of his time, and the critical reception of
his work provide a comprehensive understanding of Whitman and of
how he has become such a central figure in the American literary
canon.
