Book Reviews of Leaves of Grass: The First (1855) Edition (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Oxford World's Classics version is the "Death-bed" edition from 1891
Summary: 5 Stars
More as a point of clarification than review: the Oxford World's Classics edition is not the 1855 edition. (All the comments & editorial reviews for various versions of Leaves of Grass seem to have all be funneled into the same place.)
According to the "Note on the Text" in the Oxford edition, it is the "death-bed" edition published in 1891-92. It is based on the 1881 edition.
If you want the original 1855 version, Penguin offers it. Search: "Leaves of Grass Penguin classics".
In any case: the 5 stars are for Whitman.
