Walt Whitman.
(Book)

Includes bibliography.

"Walt Whitman provies a critical introduction to America's nineteenth-century epic poet. It orders the facts essential to understanding Whitman's poetry, and indicates paths to wander down on tours of personal exploration. More than merely a review of all that has been said of Whitman before, the book represents a fresh and comprehensive look at the poet and his work."--From the dust-jacket front flap.
