Download or read book The Magnificent Walt Whitman written by Walt Whitman and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walt Whitman's full significance in connection with the great modern movement is near impossible to articulate. How he presupposes science and culture, yet draws his strength from that which pre-dates these things; how he glories in the present, and yet is sustained and justified by the past; how he is the poet of America and the modern, and yet translates these things into universal truths; how he is the poet of wickedness, while yet every fiber of him is sound and good; how his page is burdened with the material, the real, the contemporary, while yet his hold upon the ideal, the spiritual, never relaxes; how he is the poet of the body, while yet he is in even fuller measure the poet of the soul; in fact, how all contradictions are finally reconciled in him,-all these things and more, cannot be set forth with the clearness and emphasis the subject demands. The Magnificent Walt Whitman Series serves as a compendium to those who study Whitman, to aid in approaching him on unfamiliar lines, and will disclose meanings that these simple words have missed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992, the year of the hundredth anniversary of Walt Whitman's death, a major gathering of international scholars took place at the University of Iowa. Over 150 participants heard papers by 20 of the world's most eminent critics of Whitman. Three generations of scholars offered new essays that brilliantly tracked the course of past and present Whitman scholarship. So significant was this historic celebration of the great American poet that the opening session was covered by CBS Sunday Morning, National Public Radio's Morning Edition, the New York Times, and other newspapers across the country. Musical and theatrical performances, art exhibitions, slide shows, readings, songs, and even a recently discovered recording of Whitman's voice were presented during the three days of the conference. But the heart of the conference was this series of original essays by some of the most innovative scholars working in the field of American literature. There has never been a more important collection of Whitman criticism. In these essays, readers will find the most suggestive recent approaches to Whitman alongside the most reliable traditional approaches. Walt Whitman: The Centennial Essays captures Whitman's energy and vitality, which have only increased in the century after his death.
