Whitman's Leaves Of Grass: Style And Subject Matter With Special Reference To Democratic Vistas (1914) by Thomas Kile Smith is a comprehensive analysis of the literary style and subject matter of Walt Whitman's famous collection of poetry, Leaves of Grass. The book focuses on the themes of democracy and individualism that are central to Whitman's work, and explores the ways in which his writing reflects and contributes to the cultural and political landscape of nineteenth-century America.Smith's analysis is informed by a deep understanding of the historical context in which Whitman was writing, and he draws on a wide range of primary sources to support his arguments. He also pays close attention to the formal qualities of Whitman's poetry, examining the use of free verse and other innovative techniques that have made Leaves of Grass such a groundbreaking work.Throughout the book, Smith argues that Whitman's poetry is both a product of and a response to the democratic ideals that were taking hold in America during his lifetime. He shows how Whitman's celebration of the individual, his rejection of traditional forms and structures, and his embrace of the natural world all reflect a broader cultural shift towards a more democratic and egalitarian society.Overall, Whitman's Leaves Of Grass: Style And Subject Matter With Special Reference To Democratic Vistas is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the literary and cultural significance of one of America's most influential poets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
