Description: I obey my happy hour's command which seems curiously imperative. May - be if I don't do anything else I shall send out the most wayward spontaneous fragmentary book ever printed. One of the best kept secrets of modern autobiographical literature Whitman's autobiography moves in brisk episodic fashion to chronicle the life of one of the world's best loved and most influential poets. Experimental in form lyrical in expression and rich in experiential content Specimen Days still awaits a much wider readership than it has hitherto commanded. Whitman gives us his life as lived in relation to the shifting urban and rural ecologies of a young nation - a nation that had freshly emerged from catastrophic civil war and that was assuming the vanguard of artistic technological economic political and philosophical modernity. About THE Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up - to - date bibliographies for further study and much more.
