商品描述内容简介When Walt Whitman self-publishedLeaves of Grassin 1855 it was a slim volume of twelve poems and he was a journalist and poet from Long Island, little-known but full of ambition and poetic fire. To give a new voice to the new nation shaken by civil war, he spent his entire life revising and adding to the work, but his initial act of bravado in answering Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for a national poet has made Whitman the quintessential American writer. This rich cross-section of his work includes poems from throughout Whitman's lifetime as published on his deathbed edition of 1891, short stories, his prefaces to the many editions ofLeaves of Grass, and a variety of prose selections, includingDemocratic Vistas, Specimen Days, andSlang in America.作者简介Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was born on Long Island and educated in Brooklyn, New York. He served as a printer's devil, journeyman compositor, itinerant schoolteacher, editor, and unofficial nurse to Northern and Southern soldiers. Michael Warner is professor of English at Rutgers University. His most recent works includeAmerican Sermons: The Pilgrims to Martin Luther King, and his essays and journalism have appeared in theVillage Voice, theNation, and other magazines.
