Sinopsis
Gathering the full range of Walt Whitman's verse, The Complete Poetical Works presents the evolving architecture of a poet who sought to make American democracy audible. From the expansive cadences of Leaves of Grass to the elegiac gravity of "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," Whitman's free verse rejects inherited forms in favor of catalogues, incantatory repetition, and a radically inclusive lyric "I." The collection stands at the center of nineteenth-century American Romanticism while anticipating modernism's experiments in voice, form, and embodied consciousness. Whitman (1819–1892), a printer, journalist, editor, and Civil War hospital volunteer, drew upon an unusually intimate knowledge of urban labor, political conflict, bodily suffering, and national aspiration. His self-fashioned role as bard of the United States was not merely rhetorical: his poetry emerged from democratic conviction, personal observation, and a lifelong revisionary practice that made his work both public manifesto and private spiritual record. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking the origins of modern American poetry. It rewards those interested in literature, history, politics, and the human body as a site of meaning, offering a vast, generous, and challenging vision of collective life.
