Ebook: A companion to Walt Whitman

A Companion To Walt Whitman is an anthology of 35 original essays written by leading scholars, discussing the cultural and literary context of Whitman's classic poetry and prose works. From the influence of nineteenth-century popular culture on Whitman and his literature, to the repercussions of the American Civil War, to the unique nuances of the very first edition of "Leaves of Grass", A Companion To Walt Whitman is an erudite exploration of not only the works themselves and their reflection of Whitman's era, but also the valuable insights they convey to present and future generations. Highly recommended.
