Whitman, Slavery, and the Emergence of Leaves of Grass,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Although the significance of Walt Whitman's thinking about African Americans and slavery to his poetry has been largely ignored by Whitman scholars, Martin Klammer argues that Leaves of Grass is a major text dealing with race relations in the midnineteenth century. Through a close historical analysis, Klammer reveals how the evolution of Whitman's attitudesfrom proslavery to "Free Soilism" to a deep sympathy for slavesparallels and inspires his emergence as a poet from the beginning of his career through the 1855 edition. The issue of slavery continually influenced Whitman's work, culminating in 1854 when public reaction to two national developments on the slavery questionthe passage of the KansasNebraska Act and the case of the fugitive slave Anthony Burnssuddenly created an audience more receptive to Whitman's views and compelled him to revise and publish the poems known as Leaves of Grass. At the heart of these poems is a radically new and sympathetic view of African Americans and of their significance to Whitman's vision of a multiracial, egalitarian society. While previous critics have described Whitman's puzzling, seemingly contradictory views on slavery, no other study has so thoroughly investigated Whitman and the question of slavery, nor understood the importance of slavery to Whitman's development as a poet.
