Song of Myself de Walt Whitman

Song of Myself

Autor Walt Whitman
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Walt Whitman is oe of America's most celebrated poets, and he was famous among his contemporaries in the mid-19th century, but that wasn't necessarily a good thing. The essayist and journalist made waves with his anthology Leaves of Grass, a collection of poetry that bridged the gaps between Transcendentalism and Realism but was considered obscene by much of the general public at the time. Nevertheless, his influential collection subsequently made him one of the greatest inspirations of generations of poets and writers, and it helped establish him as the "father of free verse."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
It was with this inspired, oceanic medley, "Song of Myself" (which in the first editions of "Leaves of Grass" was still nameless), that Walt Whitman first made himself known to the world. Readers will find this first version of "Song of Myself" new, surprising, and often superior to the later versions and exhilarating in the freshness of its vision.

Walt Whitman was an American poet, journalist, and essayist, born on May 31, 1819, in West Hills, New York. He is best known for his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which he published in 1855. This collection is considered a masterpiece of American literature and is known for its bold, free verse style and celebration of nature, democracy, and the common man.Whitman grew up in a large family and had limited formal education, but he was an avid reader and taught himself a variety of skills, including typesetting and printing. He began his career as a journalist and worked for a number of newspapers throughout his life. During the Civil War, he volunteered as a nurse and saw firsthand the suffering of soldiers. This experience influenced his later writing, and he became known for his compassionate and empathetic portrayal of humanity in his work.In addition to his work as a writer, Walt Whitman was also a social and political activist. He was an advocate for women's rights, abolitionism, and the rights of workers. His writing often addressed these issues directly and he was known for his progressive views. Whitman believed in the power of literature to effect social change and he used his writing to promote the idea of a more democratic and egalitarian society. His poetry and essays continue to inspire and influence readers today, making him an enduring figure in American literary and cultural history.Whitman's writing was often controversial in his time, but it has had a lasting impact on American literature and culture. His work influenced many writers, including Langston Hughes and Allen Ginsberg, and his celebration of the individual and the natural world continue to resonate with readers today. Whitman died on March 26, 1892, in Camden, New Jersey, but his legacy as a pioneering figure in American literature endures.
