Description
Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a groundbreaking collection of poetry that has had a profound influence on literature. First published in June 1855, this work revolutionized the art of poetry by abandoning traditional forms and embracing the vernacular rhythms of American democracy. Over the years, Whitman revised and expanded his project seven times, with each edition introducing new poems and altering the book's dimensions significantly. This edition presents a chronological selection of the most substantial poems and "clusters" from Whitman's successive revisions, offering a unique insight into his ongoing labour of revision and renewal.
