Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass (The Complete 1891-92 Edition) de Walt Whitman
Descripción - Reseña del editor Walt Whitman was a poetic Visionary. He published the first edition of this monumental work in 1855 and began his magnum opus with the words, 'America does not repel the past of what it has produced.' He asserted in his declaration: America is 'essentially the greatest poem.' And he qualified this remark by stating that the 'genius of the United States,' that which is at the core, the essence of the poem of America, is 'always most in the common people.' Whitman wrote for and about the common people, and wanted his work to somehow bring about a political renewal that would truly represent the grand Idea of democracy. In this book Whitman overturns centuries of Western political and social thought. Whitman's democratic vision was something so unprecedented in so many ways that his reception at first could be characterized as utter incomprehension. It is believed that only a couple hundred people, at most, read the original 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass and many of these readers did not know what to make of the book. Some people were completely outraged and offended. Others were enraptured. Whitman was the self appointed poet-prophet of America and created, where he saw a lack, a new democratic religious understanding for the modern world. Nota de la solapa The poetry of Walt Whitman is the cornerstone of modern American verse. He was America's first truly great poet and his influence is still evident today. The first edition of Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass, published in 1855, was a revolutionary manifesto declaring America's independence from European cultural domination. His rhapsodic free verse broke radically with poetic, tradition: it was poetry about America, its democracy, its people, and its hopes. It was uniquely American without apology--brash, proud, optimistic, and filled with the bustling energy of the new and growing nation.This collection brings together Whitman's greatest and most famous poems spanning the whole of his career. From the groundbreaking first edition of 'Leaves of Grass are seven poems, including 'Song of Myself' and 'I Sing the Body Electric.'From later editions there are such masterpieces as 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,' 'Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking,' and 'I Hear America Singing.' Also included is Whitman's great cycle of Civil War Poems, 'Drum-Taps, which he wrote in the months when he was ministering to the wounded in battlefield hospitals. Concluding this collection is one of his last poems, 'Good-bye My Fancy!'--his touching farewell to his muse, his life, and his readers.More than one hundred years after his death, Walt Whitman's poetry has become part of the American heritage. It is a visionary which speaks as aptly to readers today as it will to future generations. As he says in 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,' 'others...look back on me because I look'd forward to them.' Whitman's poetry is a link that connects all Americans--past, present, and future.This book features a deluxe cover, ribbon marker, top stain, and decorative endpaper with a nameplate.
