The Complete Prose Works Of Walt Whitman (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161426885)

The Complete Prose Works of Walt Whitman is a comprehensive collection of the essays, letters, and other writings of the renowned American poet Walt Whitman. The book includes a wide range of works, from his early journalism to his later philosophical musings. The collection also includes his famous ""Democratic Vistas"" essay, which explores the role of democracy in American society, as well as his correspondence with figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Douglas O'Connor. The book provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of America's most celebrated literary figures, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of American literature and culture.Meantime, in Washington, among the great persons and their entourage, a mixture of awful consternation, uncertainty, rage, shame, helplessness, and stupefying disappointment. The worst is not only imminent, but already here. In a few hours--perhaps before the next meal--the secesh generals, with their victorious hordes, will be upon us. The dream of humanity, the vaunted Union we thought so strong, so impregnable--lo! it seems already smash'd like a china plate. One bitter, bitter hour--perhaps proud America will never again know such an hour. She must pack and fly--no time to spare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
