Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman
Englisch | Taschenbuch

'I spring from the pages into your arms'Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass stands as one of the most influential and innovative literary works of the last two hundred years. Widely credited as the originator of free verse in English, Whitman put forward a radical new language of the body, the nation, and same-sex love. After the book's initial publication in June 1855, Whitman revised and expanded the project a further seven times, with subsequent editions appearing at regular intervals until his death in 1892. His revisions to particular poems were often substantial, and the addition of new poems to each edition so extensive, that the books dimensions altered dramatically.This edition introduces Whitmans ongoing labour of revision and renewal his successive responses to the shattering years that encompassed the American Civil War and its aftermath. Beginning with the first edition of 1855, it moves chronologically, selecting and including the most substantial poems and clusters as Whitman first included them. In most cases, this means reprinting the often more politically and sexually daring beginning, rather than the revised end, of a particular poem's journey. The present edition thereby provides a portrait of a poet who attempted to reshape his project in tandem with some of the most tumultuous decades in American history, and who in the process altered forever the parameters and possibilities of poetry itself.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.

From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by Jessica Hische<BR><BR>It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility.

It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves.<BR><BR>W is for Whitman.  When Walt Whitman self-published his Leaves of Grass in July 1855, he altered the course of literary history. One of the greatest masterpieces of American literature, it redefined the rules of poetry while describing the soul of the American character. Throughout his life, Whitman continuously revised, expanded, and republished Leaves of Grass, but the 1855 original marked Whitman’s fresh and bold arrival, greeted by Ralph Waldo Emerson as “the beginning of a great career.”  This volume specially compiled for Penguin Drop Caps will also include a range of additional popular poems including selections from "Calamus," "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," and "Drum-Taps," as well as Whitman’s 1855, 1856 and 1976 prefaces and “Democratic Vistas.”

Live Oak, with Moss
Live Oak, with Moss
Walt Whitman
Live Oak, with Moss is a groundbreaking literary treasure that reveals a hidden chapter in Walt Whitman's life and work. In this stunning edition, New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Award-winning illustrator Brian Selznick brings Whitman's words to life.As we was turning forty, Whitman wrote twelve deeply personal poems in a handmade notebook he titled Live Oak, with Moss. These verses were intimate meditations on love, desire, and connection-specifically his attraction to and affection for other men-expressed with honesty and vulnerability.Composed decades before the term "homosexual" entered common usage, these poems stand as Whitman's boldest exploration of same-sex love. They were revolutionary for their time, both in theme and in emotional candor, yet Whitman never published them. For more than a century, this passionate cluster of poems remained unknown to the general public, a secret fragment of literary history waiting to be rediscovered.Brian Selznick visual narrative amplifies the beauty and intensity of the poetry. And accompanying Selznick's art, Whitman scholar Karen Karbiener reconstructs the fascinating story behind the creation-and near destruction-of these poems, offering insight into Whitman's inner world and the cultural forces that shaped his work.By reassembling and reinterpreting these extraordinary poems, this edition invites readers to experience Whitman anew-through words and images that resonate with timeless themes of love, identity, and freedom.Walt Whitman's reassembled, reinterpreted Live Oak, with Moss serves as a source of inspiration and a cause for celebration.

"Das einzigartig wilde Vergnügen, allein in den Wäldern zu sein"
"Das einzigartig wilde Vergnügen, allein in den Wäldern zu sein"
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman hat mit den "Grasblättern" ein Jahrhundertwerk geschrieben, das eine typisch amerikanische Literatur zu etablieren geholfen hat und selbst in der europäischen Dichtung noch einige deutliche Spuren hinterließ. Whitman unterzog seine "Grasblätter" einer lebenslangen Überarbeitung und Ergänzung, allerdings gelangten viele Ideen gar nicht erst über das Entwurfsstadium hinaus oder existieren nur als Stichwörter. Dennoch gehören sie ins Gesamtbild eines work in progress.Deshalb haben Roberta Harms und Jürgen Brôcan die interessantesten dieser nie voll ausgeprägten Wurzeln und Knospen aus dem Nachlass ausgewählt, ergänzt um Bemerkungen zu den "Grasblättern" in den späten Gesprächen mit Whitmans Vertrautem Horace Traubel. Sie zeigen eindrücklich die gedankliche Bandbreite eines der wichtigsten amerikanischen Dichter des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Walt Whitman
Hojas de hierba, publicada en 1855, es un libro de poemas del poeta estadounidense Walt Whitman.

Los poemas de Hojas de hierba están conectados entre sí, cada uno representando la celebración de Whitman de su filosofía de la vida y de la humanidad. Este libro se caracteriza por su alegría y alabanza de los sentidos en un momento en el que las manifestaciones en primera persona y la expresión del uno mismo se consideraba inmoral.
