Description
Walt Whitman's complete works are presented in this definitive Library of America edition. This collection includes all of his poetry and prose, as well as the first edition of Leaves of Grass, published in 1855. At that time, it was met with commercial failure, but would later become a central volume in the history of world poetry. The final edition, published in 1891-92, is the last supervised by Whitman himself before his death. This edition includes some of his most famous poems, such as "Song of Myself" and "I Sing the Body Electric", as well as a preface announcing his poetic theories. The collection also features Whitman's prose, including Specimen Days and Collect, which offers reminiscences of 19th-century New York City and trenchant comments on books and authors. This edition is considered one of the biggest and best publications of Whitman's works ever made, providing a comprehensive understanding of his life and literary output.
