Book Reviews of Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition
Book Review: A great disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
In the full bloom of my late sixties, I find too much of Whitman's writing far less rhapsodic or even elegiac than I both remember and am told it to be. Hot air, any one?
Summary of Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition
When Walt Whitman self-published "Leaves of Grass" in 1855, he rocked the literary world and forever changed the course of poetry. In subsequent editions, Whitman continued to revise and expand his poems--but none matched the raw power and immediacy of the first edition. This beautifully designed volume presents the 1855 "Leaves of Grass" in its entirety, unchanged, along with Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous letter to Whitman.
