A collection of astonishing originality and intensity, it spoke of politics, sexual emancipation and what it meant to be an American. From the joyful 'Song of Myself' and 'I Sing the Body Electric' to the elegiac 'When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd', Whitman's art fuses oratory, journalism and song in a vivid celebration of humanity.\" This volume reprints the final, or 'death-bed', edition of Leaves of Grass (1891-2). Earlier versions of many poems are also given, including the 1855 'Song of Myself'. Whitman's early poems appear in an appendix, so that, apart from manuscript fragments found after his death, the present edition contains all Whitman's known work. It also includes a completely new introduction and updated further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/walt-whitman-books\"\u003eWalt Whitman\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0140808116\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £33.77","offer_id":47909294407857,"sku":"SB-0140808116-C4","price":33.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"on-the-beach-at-night-alone-penguin-little-black-classics","title":"On the Beach at Night Alone (Penguin Little Black Classics)","description":"\u003cp\u003e'All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages...' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA selection taken from Walt Whitman's \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday.

His incantatory rhythms, revolutionary sense of Eros, and generous, all-embracing vision invite renewed wonder at each reading.
