| Summary |
"This volume reprints the whole of the initial, 1855 version of Leaves of grass (with titles and section numbers, as they would appear in later editions, supplied in brackets). Added, too, are a handful of poems from across the length of Whitman's career--these taken from the 1891-92 "Deathbed edition," though arranged chronologically--and selected prose pieces"--Page xiii. |
