Walt Whitman the Man and the Poet
Of course there were plenty of others, men and women, who engaged faithfully in
the same service. But it is probable that no other was so endowed for it as Walt
Whitman. I should say his whole character culminates here ; and, as a country is

An early study of Whitman and his poetry by the 19th century British poet. His study of Whitman is interesting in the light of his own haphazard existence and history of melancholia, and it deserves comparison with his studies of other great poets. This appreciation of Whitman is from an unexpected source: the saturnine poet of "The City of Dreadful Night!" These two essays on Whitman first appeared in magazines in 1874 and 1881-2. They were collected and first printed in book form, with an introduction by Bertram Dobell, in 1910.Walt Whitman
Less than four years after the death of America's first great poet, Thomas
Donaldson asserted that “Whitman with the pen was one man – Whitman in
private life was another man.” For Donaldson, the division lay in the perfection of
Whitman's ...

In 1961 the first volume of Edwin Haviland Miller’s The Correspondence was published in the newly established series the Collected Writings of Walt Whitman. Miller proceeded to publish five additional volumes of Whitman letters, and other leading scholars, including Roger Asselineau, compiled accompanying volumes of prose, poems, and daybooks. Yet by the late 1980s, the Whitman Collected Writings project was hopelessly scattered, fragmented, and incomplete. Now, more than forty years after the inaugural volume’s original publication, Ted Genoways brings scholars the latest volume in Walt Whitman: The Correspondence. Incorporating all of the letters Miller had collected before his death in 2001 and combining them with more than a hundred previously unknown letters he himself gathered, Genoways’s volume is a perfect accompaniment to Miller’s original work. Among the more than one hundred fifty letters collected in this volume are numerous correspondences concerning Whitman’s Civil War years, including a letter sending John Hay, the personal secretary to Abraham Lincoln, a manuscript copy of “O Captain, My Captain!” Additional letters address various aspects of the production of Leaves of Grass, the most notable being an extensive correspondence surrounding the Deathbed Edition, gathered by Whitman’s friend Horace Traubel, and reproduced here for the first time. Most significantly, this volume at last incorporates Whitman’s early letters to Abraham Paul Leech, first published by Arthur Golden in American Literature in 1986. The revelations contained in these letters must be considered among the most important discoveries about Whitman’s life made during the last half of the twentieth century. Regardless of whether their significance is great or small, immediate or long-term, each new piece of Whitman’s correspondence returns us to a particular moment in his life and suggests the limitless directions that remain for Whitman scholarship.Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman the Man and the Poet With an Introd by Bertram Dobell
The Americanness of Walt Whitman
with Walt Whitman and his "Leaves of Grass," is that in him we meet a man not
shaped out of old-world clay, not cast in any old-world mould, and hard to name
by any old-world name. In his self-assertion there is a manner of powerful non- ...
