General Series Editors Gay Wilson Allen and Sculley Bradley
Originally published between 1961 and 1984, and now available in
paperback for the first time, the critically acclaimed Collected
Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of America's
most important poets.
Daybooks and Notebooks is an invaluable source for reference on
Whitman's daily activities. This sixteen-year record supplements
the biographical information provided in the six volumes of
Whitman's Correspondence, functioning as an account book, diary,
journal, commonplace book, and notebook all in one.
When Whitman began to keep them, the Daybooks were a personal
record of predominantly business matters. As William White wrote in
the introduction, "He was not only the author but the publisher of
his works: he was likewise his own business manager, ship, and
promoter. Whatever records he kept, of his sales and distribution,
of printing and binding figures, of poetry and prose he sent to
newspapers and magazines . . . he entered on the right-hand pages."
Volume I thus offers a rare look at Whitman as a businessman,
tending as much to practical matters as to art.
Praise for the original edition:
"These are important books for serious study of Whitman's life
and work and need to be present in every graduate and research
library."-"Choice"
