November Boughs

Autor Walt Whitman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2004
November Boughs is a collection of poems and essays by Walt Whitman, one of the most celebrated American poets of the 19th century. The book was first published in 1888 and contains a variety of pieces that explore themes such as nature, politics, and spirituality. The poems in November Boughs are characterized by their free verse style, which was a departure from the more traditional forms of poetry that were popular at the time. The essays in the book offer insights into Whitman's views on a range of topics, including democracy, literature, and the role of the artist in society. Overall, November Boughs is a testament to Whitman's unique voice and his enduring influence on American literature.Beautiful as the song was, the original `Locksley Hall' of half a century ago was essentially morbid, heart-broken, finding fault with everything, especially the fact of money's being made (as it ever must be, and perhaps should be) the paramount matter in worldly affairs; Every door is barr'd with gold, and opens but to golden keys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Notă biografică

Walt Whitman was an American poet, journalist, teacher, printer, and essayist born on Long Island, New York, in 1819. After working in newspapers and printing offices, he published the first edition of Leaves of Grass at his own expense in 1855. Whitman continued revising and enlarging the collection for the rest of his life, regarding each version as a new expression of his developing poetic vision.During the American Civil War, Whitman volunteered in military hospitals, tending wounded soldiers and writing letters for them. Those experiences inspired some of his most powerful poems about suffering, death, comradeship, and national grief. His radical free verse, frank treatment of the body, democratic vision, and expansive sense of self transformed American literature. Whitman died in Camden, New Jersey, in 1892, leaving Leaves of Grass as one of the foundational works of modern poetry.
