It reflects the unique vitality of the new nation, the vastness of the land and the emergence of a sometimes troubled consciousness, communicated in language and idiom regarded by many at the time as shocking.Whitman's poems are organic and free flowing, fit into no previously defined...

Walt Whitman was deeply interested in the American language as it was emerging in his ti...

Nelle sue "Visioni democratiche" la prosa magistrale e incalzante di Whitman riesce a dare vita a un saggio breve di grande impatto emotivo e intellettuale, a un pamphlet che pur esaltando le prospettive della democrazia, si sofferma anche sui suoi limiti e i suoi rischi. Whitman saggista si conferma infatti istintivo e anarchico come lo Whitman poeta, mantenendo la stessa forza evocativa e lirica. "isioni democratiche" è un saggio dai toni in...

Excerpt from An American Primer The American Primer is a challenge rather than a finished fight. We find Whitman on this occasion rather laying his plans than undertaking to perfect them.

Excerpt from Memories of President Lincoln: And Other Lyrics of the War There was no reason why Lincoln should not have been a prophet rather than a politician he was in fact a divine prophet-politician, in him for almost the first time prophecy had something to say in politics.
