D. Scudellari. Not a first Modern Library edition. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is widely regarded as one of the defining voices of American literature. First publishing Leaves of Grass in 1855 and revising it throughout his life, Whitman pioneered free verse poetry and created a distinctly American literary voice centered on democracy, individuality, labor, sexuality, and the natural world. His influence extends across modern poetry, philosophy, and American cultural history.
