\n This Library of America edition is the biggest and best edition of Walt Whitman’s writings ever published. It includes all of his poetry and what he considered his complete prose. It is also the only collection that includes, in exactly the form in which it appeared in 1855, the first edition of\u00a0Leaves of Grass. This was the book, a commercial failure, which prompted Emerson\u2019s famous message to Whitman: \u201cI greet you at the beginning of a great career.\u201d These twelve poems, including what were later to be entitled \u201cSong of Myself\u201d and \u201cI Sing the Body Electric,\u201d and a preface announcing the author\u2019s poetic theories were the first stage of a massive, lifelong work. Six editions and some thirty-seven years later,\u00a0Leaves of Grass became\u00a0one of the central volumes in the history of world poetry.
\u00a0
Each edition involved revisions of earlier poems and the incorporation of new ones.\u00a0As it progressed, it was hailed by Emerson, Thoreau, Rosetti and others, but was also, as with the sixth edition in 1881\u201382, beset by charges of obscenity for such poems as \u201cA Woman Waits for Me.\u201d Printed here is the final, great culminating edition of 1891\u201392, the last supervised by Whitman himself just before his death.
\u00a0
Whitman\u2019s prose is no less extraordinary.\u00a0Specimen Days and Collect\u00a0(1882) includes reminiscences of nineteenth-century New York City that will fascinate readers in the twenty-first, notes on the Civil War, especially his service in Washington hospitals, and trenchant comments on books and authors.\u00a0Democratic Vistas\u00a0(1871), in its attacks on the misuses of national wealth after the Civil War, is relevant to conditions in our own time, and\u00a0November Boughs\u00a0(1888) brings together retrospective prefaces, opinions, and random autobiographical bits that are in effect an extended epilogue on Whitman\u2019s life, works, and times.<\/p>\n
