'I obey my happy hour's command, which seems curiously imperative.
May-be, if I don't do anything else, I shall send out the most
wayward, spontaneous, fragmentary book ever printed.' One of the
best kept secrets of modern autobiographical literature, Whitman's
autobiography moves in brisk, episodic fashion to chronicle the
life of one of the world's best loved and most influential poets.
Experimental in form, lyrical in expression, and rich in
experiential content, Specimen Days still awaits a much wider
readership than it has hitherto commanded. Whitman gives us his
life as lived in relation to the shifting urban and rural ecologies
of a young nation -a nation that had freshly emerged from
catastrophic civil war and that was assuming the vanguard of
artistic, technological, economic, political, and philosophical
modernity. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
