Editorial Reviews
Review
.”..this is an excellent companion to Whitman and his poetry. It is not only valuable for the scholar looking to supplement an already informed approach to Whitman, but it serves the reader new to Whitman equally well, revealing aspects of Whitman’s writing, and of Whitman’s life and influence, that would not be readily apparent on a first or second reading.” colin A. Clarke, American Studies International
“The editor of this handsome volume succeeds greatly in assembling a group of new essays that indicates in important and memorable ways the rich variety–mutitudes–of responses our still-revolutionary poet elicits from his readers.” Nineteeth-Century Literature
“This anthology of ten essays suggests the vitality and variety of critical responses to Whitman today, or, as Ezra Greenspan writes in his introduction, how Whitman ‘has again become one of the most current figures in American literary criticism.'”
