Walt whitman As Poet

By Dr Balwinder Singh

This book entitled, Walt Whitman as a Poet-is a critical study of some of his major poems. It will be beneficial to the general reader, the college and university student and the isolated teacher in particular who may find a conspectus like this helpful and useful for presenting Walt Whitman to his students. Keeping this point in mind, the author has accordingly assayed to present, in the light of recent scholarship and comparative trends in modern criticism, a critical commentary on Whitman. Author's criticism carries insight, sensibility and judgment of high order. His critical study has established Whitman in clearer and terser terms as, being the pioneer American celebrant of self in all its sweep and magnitude. The author pointedly shows how sharply this self-differs from the traditional religious self. His cartography of Whitman's self is done with flair.
