Walt Whitman's Native Representations Paperback - 1997
by Ed Folsom
Walt Whitman looked to many different areas of American culture to develop a distinctively American poetry. Scholar Ed Folsom investigates four of the areas Whitman found most fertile for his own poetic development the evolution of American dictionaries, the growth of the national sport of baseball, the decimation of American Indians, and the development of American photography. Illus.
First line
For Whitman, it was all a question of turning cultural actions, as quickly as possible, into language: he set out to absorb the "agitated and turbulent" conditions of his cultural present and to go about the work of "wording the future with undissuadable words," rejecting nothing in the culture and trying instead to "force discrepancies into range," to bring the "boiling-hot days" to voice, and to do it all "on native principles."
