The Bibliography Of Walt Whitman

By Frank Shay

Book Overview

A spark of revelation about a towering American voice. The Bibliography Of Walt Whitman unfolds not as a dry catalog, but as a living map of how Whitman shaped a nation's language, memory, and self-understanding. Frank Shay's bibliographic study offers a precise, eloquent reference bibliography and literary monograph rolled into one: a carefully threaded examination of publication and printing history, the Whitman reception and influence, and the arc of nineteenth century america into post civil war america. Its pages illuminate scholarly researchers and librarian resources alike, guiding readers through the currents of american poetry history with clarity and reverence. For the curious reader and the serious critic, this volume reframes Whitman through the lens of American letters, embedding Emily Dickinson studies and broader american poetry criticism within a coherent, accessible narrative. This edition represents more than a reprint. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations, a true collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether you approach it as a bibliographic study, a reference bibliography, or a cornerstone for a broader scholarly project, the book invites fresh listening to Whitman's influence and a richer grasp of how nineteenth century america spoke to the future. A compelling resource for casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike.
