As Malcolm Cowley says in his introduction, the first edition of
"Leaves of Grass" 'might be called the buried
masterpiece of American writing', for it exhibits 'Whitman
at his best, Whitman at his freshest in vision and boldest in
language, Whitman transformed by a new experience.' Mr Cowley
has taken the first edition from its narrow circulation among
scholars, faithfully edited it, added his own introduction and
Whitman's original introduction (which never appeared in any
other edition during Whitman's life), and returned it to the
common readership to whom the great poet really speaks.
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) war New Yorker: Geboren auf Long Island, wuchs er in Brooklyn auf und starb in Camden, New Jersey. Er arbeitete als Dorfschullehrer, Zimmermann, Schriftsetzer, Drucker, Journalist, Häusermakler, Sekretär im Innenministerium und als freiwilliger Lazaretthelfer während des Sezessionskriegs.
