Download or read book Song of Myself written by Walt Whitman and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the most comprehensive and detailed reading to date of Song of Myself. One of the most distinguished critics in Whitman Studies, Ed Folsom, and one of the nation’s most prominent writers and literary figures, Christopher Merrill, carry on a dialog with Whitman, and with each other, section by section, as they invite readers to enter into the conversation about how the poem develops, moves, improvises, and surprises. Instead of picking and choosing particular passages to support a reading of the poem, Folsom and Merrill take Whitman at his word and interact with “every atom” of his work. The book presents Whitman’s final version of the poem, arranged in fifty-two sections; each section is followed by Folsom’s detailed critical examination of the passage, and then Merrill offers a poet’s perspective, suggesting broader contexts for thinking about both the passage in question and the entire poem.
Download or read book Walt Whitman s Secret written by George Fetherling and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As compelling and revelatory as Colm Toibin's The Master, Walt Whitman's Secret mines the life of the most influential poet in the American canon for insights about creativity, relations between the sexes and the dangers of excessive patriotism. In this wonderfully imagined novel, Walt Whitman's secret isn't his homosexuality but another one entirely. It's a political secret, one that the greatest American poet of the nineteenth century has pledged himself to keep until he is on his deathbed. Only in that way can Whitman protect the great love of his life - a Confederate deserter he met in Washington during the Civil War - from the calumnies and scandals that have muddied his own reputation ever since the first publication of Leaves of Grass. The person who finally hears his confession is Horace, his unpaid amanuensis and helper, a young man who will go on to fill nine fat volumes with a verbatim record of the great man's tabletalk and often deceptive reminiscences. Only after Whitman has gone does Horace realize that Whitman seems to be making him a bequest of not only the secret but of his own complex personality as well.
Download or read book Whitman Revisited written by Frank Jakubowsky and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very unusual for an author to number parts of his poems. Walt Whitman's poem, "Song of Myself," has 52 parts, which he numbered 1 to 52. This book uses that idea that Whitman numbered his poems in his book, Leaves of Grass. I have found that Jesus wrote his parables that are in a cycle of ten. My book, The Psychological Patterns of Jesus Christ, shows how these parables relate to that pattern. I also found that other people are writing in that same pattern, and I say that it relates to the influence of the Spirit of Truth. Whitman's numbers are also in a cycle of ten. His numbers 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 would relate to a part number 1 of the cycle of ten. I also have numbered the ten parts of Jesus' cycle. It just happens that our numberings are the same. So Whitman's 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 and my discovery of Jesus' pattern of number 1, enlighten has the same quality. These are how the numbers relate to the parts, which I gave key words to describe the part. 1. enlighten; 2. inadequacy; 3. expansive; 4. fruitful; 5. authoritative; 6. communication; 7. reject; 8. sociable; 9. spiritual; 10. action. Looking over the last single numbers that Whitman numbered, we can see some relationship to Jesus' key words. For example, the word sun seems to happen quite often in numbers 5, 15, 25, etc. that relates to the key word of authoritative which seems just right. The match of numbers and the cycle of ten gives a good indication that Walt Whitman was influenced by the spirit of truth. Walt put on the mind of Christ.

Download or read book The Ethics of Intensity in American Fiction written by Tony Hilfer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1981-03-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon the philosophical theories of William James, Dewey, and Mead and focusing upon major works by Whitman, Stein, Howells, Dreiser, and Henry James, Anthony Hilfer explores how these authors have structured their characters' consciousness, their purpose in doing so, and how this presentation controls the reader's moral response. Hilfer contends that there was a significant change in the mode of character presentation in American literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The self defined in terms of a Victorian ethic and judged adversely for its departures from that code shifted to the self defined in terms of emotional intensity and judged adversely for its failures of nerve. In the first mode, characters are almost always wrong to yield to desire; in the second, characters are frequently wrong not to and, in fact, are seen less as the sum of their ethical choices than as the process of their longings. His conclusion: modern fiction is as overbalanced toward pathos as Victorian fiction was toward ethos. but the continued dialectic between the two is a tension that ought not be resolved.

Book excerpt: "Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman that is included in his work Leaves of Grass. It has been credited as "representing the core of Whitman's poetic vision". The poem was first published without sections as the first of twelve untitled poems in the first (1855) edition of Leaves of Grass. The first edition was published by Whitman at his own expense. In 1856 it was called "A Poem of Walt Whitman, an American" and in 1860 it was simply termed "Walt Whitman." Walter "Walt" Whitman (1819 – 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist.
