Book Reviews of Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)
Book Review: Kindle edition - weak production values
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently got a Kindle, so I started looking for books to put in to it. Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is an old favorite of mine, so I looked for Kindle editions. There were 31 matches to my search, though not all of them are the actual book of poems. My complaints about this offering start with the absence of a table of contents. Whitman didn't title the poems in the original 1855 edition, though he did in subsequent editions, but a table of contents could show the first line of each poem. Beyond the lack of TOC, the edition is not identified nor is the "publisher," which makes it difficult, though not impossible, to associate a rating with a specific offering.
Summary of Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)
"The most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Inspired by transcendentalism, Whitman's immortal collection includes some of the greatest poems of modern times, including his masterpiece "Song of Myself." Shattering standard conventions of symbolism and allegory, it stands as an unabashed celebration of body and nature.
Whitman, Walt Books
