Description
Walt Whitman's iconic collection of poetry, Leaves of Grass, is presented in its original 1855 form in this beautifully designed Penguin Classics edition.
First published to great acclaim by leading Transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, this volume marked the beginning of a lifelong project for Whitman, who continued to expand and rewrite it until his death in 1892. This slim, clothbound volume features some of Whitman's most famous poetry, including the American epic "Song of Myself", which draws on his personal experiences.
With its innovative use of free verse and everyday language, Leaves of Grass has become a cornerstone of American literature, exploring themes of nature, identity, and the human experience. This edition is a must-have for anyone interested in poetry and American culture.
