Walt Whitman's 'The Complete Works of Walt Whitman' is a monumental collection of poems and prose that showcases the author's unique literary style and revolutionary approach to poetry. Known for his free verse, expansive cataloging of American life, and celebration of individualism, Whitman's work has had a lasting impact on American literature. The content of the book delves into themes of democracy, nature, and the human experience, all presented in Whitman's bold and unapologetic voice. This collection serves as a comprehensive introduction to the vast and diverse body of work produced by one of America's most influential poets. The literary context of Whitman's writing reflects the changing landscape of 19th-century America, capturing the spirit of a nation in transition with both optimism and introspection. Walt Whitman, a self-taught poet and journalist, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a working-class American. His empathy for the marginalized and his vision of a truly democratic society fueled his writing and solidified his place in literary history. Whitman's belief in the power of the individual and his exploration of the human condition make his work both timeless and relevant to modern readers. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Walt Whitman' to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of American identity, the beauty of language, and the essence of humanity. Whitman's voice resonates through the pages of this collection, offering readers a glimpse into the heart and soul of a nation and its people.

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was a celebrated American poet, chiefly known for his controversial and highly original poetry collection Leaves of Grass. Born in 1819 on Long Island, he worked as a journalist, teacher, government clerk, and volunteer nurse during the Civil War.

Whitman published his seminal work in 1855 with his own money, soon becoming one of the world's most popular and influential poets. After suffering a stroke in 1873 he retired to Camden, New Jersey, where he died nineteen years later - just two months after the final edition of Leaves of Grass appeared on sale.
