Walt Whitman's passionate writing style and bold subject matter have deeply influenced American poetry. Nearly all of his poems were published in ""Leaves of Grass"", which Whitman obsessively expanded, edited, and republished throughout his life, ultimately leaving behind a powerful literary legacy. This volume from the new ""Bloom's Classic Critical Views"" series features a compelling selection of essays from the 19th and early 20th centuries that offer students historical insights into Whitman and his works.
