- W2040293406 abstract "I am considering Walt Whitman for two reasons. First, I should like to acknowledge a writer whom I've taught for a number of years with interest and even excitement-excitement on my part if not always on part of my students. It speaks well for a writer who can stand up under heavy wear and tear of classroom explication and discussion; and over years I've come to have a respect and even a love for Walt Whitman, all while I have not acquired what is called in trade a professional, scholarly expertness. I've simply liked and found steady strength in most of Whitman's poetry and prose. Secondly, I've continually had to face what I rather unimaginatively call the Whitman enigma. I regard Whitman as still unanswered question in American literary history. There is no single book on Whitman that summarizes for our generation person and art of Whitman comparable to books one can name on Emerson, Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, or Thoreaulimiting myself to major writers nearly contemporary with Whitman. Furthermore, Whitman is in almost every respect outside recent and contemporary critical discourse. All manner of effort has been made to explain him on basis of this or that critical theory or point of view-New Critical, mythic, psychological, formalistic, or whatever. Indeed, Whitman makes just about everyone uneasy; and tendency is to offer generalizations about him as a person or as a poet and say little directly about his poetry. Or, opposite tendency is to discuss his poetry at great length, to explicate it piece by piece and line by line, and let analysis stand without reference to any mastering idea. There are, to put matter bluntly, so many difficulties and obscurities in life, person," @default.
