Highlights include the full text of the 1855 Preface to Leaves of Grass, the 1855 text of the poem later titled â Song of Myself,â the complete â Live Oak, with Mossâ sequence, numerous selections from the 1881 edition of Leaves of Grass, and several samples of Whitmanâ s early and late prose. The appendices include nineteenth-century reviews of Leaves of Grass, a selection of illustrations showing Whitmanâ s design choices for various editions of the book, and numerous portraits of the author. This volume is one of a number of editions that have been drawn from the pages of the acclaimed Broadview Anthology of American Literature. The series is designed to make selections from the anthology available in a format convenient for use in a wide variety of contexts; each edition features an introduction and explanatory footnotes, and is designed to meet the needs of todayâ s students. This edition departs from most other editions in the series in one important respectâ its format. The large page size of the edition facilitates the reading of Whitmanâ s long lines of verse. |
