Some scholars disregard Whitman's understanding of democracy, insisting on separating his personal works from his political works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Political Companion to Walt Whitman\u003c\/i\u003e is the first full-length exploration of Whitman's works through the lens of political theory. Editor John E. Seery and a collection of prominent theorists and philosophers uncover the political awareness of Whitman's poetry and prose, analyzing his faith in the potential of individuals, his call for a revolution in literature and political culture, and his belief in the possibility of combining heroic individualism with democratic justice. \u003ci\u003eA Political Companion to Walt Whitman\u003c\/i\u003e reaches beyond literature into political theory, revealing the ideology behind Whitman's call for the emergence of American poets of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John E.
