Omschrijving
I loved this book. It's an inexpensive collection of Walt Whitman poems, letters, and essays that is well worth your time ... this book is worth purchasing and perusing due to its historical value of ruminations on American life. -- Old Musty Books
Compiled when the great poet was 70 years old, November Boughs offers verse and prose reminiscences of a singular American life. Walt Whitman's reflections begin with the essay A Backward Glance O'er Travel'd Roads, in which he discusses the genesis of his most famous and controversial book, Leaves of Grass. A selection of poetry titled Sands at Seventy is followed by a series of essays and recollections that include Slang in America, What Lurks Behind Shakespeare's Historical Plays, The Old Bowery, and notes on the life of the Quaker abolitionist Elias Hicks, whose body -- it was rumored -- he and a youthful group of friends once attempted to exhume.
This affordable, high-quality edition of a rare book of poetry and prose provides a greater context for the interpretation of Whitman's other works. Essential reading for Whitman scholars, this volume is also of interest to historians of the Civil War, abolitionism, and nineteenth-century America.
