Walt Whitman's selected journalism
Walt Whitman, Douglas A. Noverr (Editor), Jason Stacy (Editor)
Long before he was a celebrated poet, Walt Whitman was a working journalist. By the time he published the first edition of Leaves of Grass in 1855, Whitman had edited three newspapers and published thousands of reviews, editorials, and human-interest stories in newspapers in and around New York City. Yet for decades, much of his journalism has been difficult to access or even find. For the first time, Walt Whitmans Selected Journalism thematically and chronologically organizes a compelling selection of Whitmans journalism from the late 1830s to the Civil War. It includes writings from the poets first immersion into the burgeoning democratic culture of antebellum America to the war that transformed both the poet and the nation. -- Amazon.com
