| Resumen: |
"An American bard at last!... his voice bringing hope and prophecy to the generous races of young and old". The first edition of Leaves of Grass had received little attention until this unattributed review appeared, in fact written by Walt Whitman himself. Described by Emily Dickinson as "disgraceful" and by Emerson as "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America had yet contributed" to world literature, the book went on to provoke strong reactions from its readers.
Today Whitman is regarded as America's Homer or Dante, and his work as the touchstone for literary originality in the New World. Whitman saw his verses as more than a "literary performance"; they were an expression of his own "emotional and other personal nature". In this sense Leaves of Grass is autobiography, but the poet's vision embraces the vigorous spirit of the whole American nation. |
