Summary

"Always urging readers toward a more sublime appreciation for the genius of Walt Whitman, Harold Bloom has recently argued that "no comparable figure in the arts has emerged from the last four centuries in the Americas: North, Central, South, or the Caribbean." This collection-revised and expanded since its original appearance in 1985 to include essays by such luminaries as John Hollander, Angus Fletcher, David Bromwich, and Helen Vendler-attests to the truth of Bloom's daring claim. These essays offer a variety of approaches to Whitman, situating his major works within their relevant social and historical contexts, but seeking foremost to enlarge and refine our understanding of his astonishingly innovative rhythms and figures.
