CRITICAL EDITIONS LEAVES OF GRASS - A CRITICA...

Following the texts is an album of portraits of Whitman  as well as Whitman on His Art  a
collection of Whitman's statements about his role as a poet taken from his notebooks  letters 
conversations  and newspaper articles. While continuing to provide leading commentary on
Whitman by major twentieth-century poets and critics  among them D. H. Lawrence  William Carlos
Williams  and Randall Jarrell  this revised edition adds important commentary by Whitman
contemporaries Henry David Thoreau  Fanny Fern  Henry James  and Oscar Wilde  among others. An
entirely new section of recent criticism includes six essays - by David S. Reynolds  Karen
Sanchez-Eppler  John Irwin  Allen Grossman  Betsy Erkkila  and Michael Moon - that reflect both
the continuing historicist mainstream of Whitman literary interpretation and influential recent
work in gender and sexuality studies. The volume also includes a Chronology  a Selected
Bibliography  and an Index of Titles.
