First published 1902, this volume contains Walt Whitman's famous "Ideal Democracy" together with essays by Helena Born and a biographical sketch by Helen Tufts. Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892) was an American essayist, poet, and journalist who was pivotal to the transition from transcendentalism to realism. His work was notably divisive and claimed by many to be obscene when first published, but he is now considered to be one of the most influential people in the American poetic canon and the "father of free verse". Contents include: "Biographical Introduction", "Welcome", "Greeting", "Whitman's Ideal Democracy", "Thoreau's Joy in Nature", "Poets of Revolt - Shelley, Whitman, Carpenter", "Whitman's Altruism", "Individualism Versus Organisation", "Ingenuities of Economic Argument", "The Last Stand Against Democracy in Sex", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
