My Captain!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The collection is notable for its delight in, and praise of, the senses. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e exalted the body and the material world. Influenced by the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of (especially German) Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises Nature and the individual human's role therein. However, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This edition includes: \u003cbr\u003e -A concise introduction that gives readers important background information\u003cbr\u003e -A chronology of the author's life and work\u003cbr\u003e -A timeline of significant events that provides the book's historical context\u003cbr\u003e -An outline of key themes and plot points to help readers form their own interpretations\u003cbr\u003e -Detailed explanatory notes\u003cbr\u003e -Critical analysis, including contemporary and modern perspectives on the work\u003cbr\u003e -Discussion questions to promote lively classroom and book group interaction\u003cbr\u003e -A list of recommended related books and films to broaden the reader's experience \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Enriched Classics offer readers affordable editions of great works of literature enhanced by helpful notes and insightful commentary.
