Once regarded as primarily a collector's item, this edition is now viewed as the poet's most bold and compelling articulation of the possibilities of American democracy. The essays weave a rich tapestry of the most current, innovative criticism on this foundational book of American poetry. The contributors treat Whitman's poetry, his biography, his politics, his reception in the United States and abroad, race and ethnic issues, nineteenth-century America, and even the complex typographical history of the first edition of \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e. The volume also includes a tribute from the renowned poet Galway Kinnell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Belasco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803260008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803260009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.19w x 1.00d","brand":"Susan Belasco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47304777400575,"sku":"9780803260009","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9813e1f0-fd1f-40e7-8472-b54f6de8dcba.jpg?v=1758829137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaves-of-grass-susan-belasco-9780803260009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
