Walt Whitman in Context

Walt Whitman in Context
Edited by Joanna Levin and Edward Whitley

Walt Whitman is a poet of contexts. His poetic practice was one of observing, absorbing, and then reflecting the world around him. Walt Whitman in Context provides brief, provocative explorations of thirty-eight different contexts – geographic, literary, cultural, and political – through which to engage Whitman’s life and work. Written by distinguished scholars of Whitman and nineteenth-century American literature and culture, this collection synthesizes scholarly and historical sources and brings together new readings and original research.
