Marcus Whitman

Walt Whitman Walt Whitman was a wonderful poet in his lifetime. He with many others influenced the American Literature during the time of the Great Depression. He was an American poet, essayist, novelist, short story writer, journalist, and editor. His work was revolutionary in both its style and content. Whitman promoted himself as the poet of American democracy and of the common man. His exploration and exaltation of sexuality and homosexuality has been downplayed. I plan to talk about Walt Whitman

sacrifice in a society which was divided by slaves, soldiers and laborers.  Throughout his poems, Walt Whitman exalted the human body and the human spirit. His straightforward poetic style, illustrated a want in America's growth as he appropriates the American ideal of ‘E pluribus unum’; a technique which serves as a democratizing device and a pattern which involves many and one.

In including “to add, divide, and measure them” Whitman implicates that students of the Enlightenment are not allowed, or not able to feel or reflect, only observe and

During his time, Walt Whitman was known as the father of free verse. In his work he incorporates his view on the importance of knowledge in the world. Showing different views in his work made it debatable to the audience and having a new outlook on education. He introduced a new way of learning, which is through experience. In this poem, the speaker mentions a time when he was presented a lecture from the wise astronomer, but did not gain the knowledge he needed. Instead, he leaves the room and steps

Walt Whitman gives several references to the pleasure of sexuality like the following passage in From Children of Adam: “Celebrate you act divine and you children prepared for, And you stalwart loins” (Whitman 1376).

This passage joins in the beautifying of sexuality that can be found throughout many poems in Leaves of Grass. Whitman’s use of the word “divine”

Reconciling Disparate Objects in Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman begins this excerpt from Leaves of Grass by describing an elusive 'this': "This is the meal pleasantly set . . . . this is the meat and drink for natural hunger." These two clauses that are set next to each other describe 'this' as very different things. "A meal pleasantly set," evokes a quiet table in a genteel household. In contrast, "the meat and drink for natural hunger," recalls a more rugged table at which

Walt Whitman's Song of Myself This paper deals with Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" in relation to Julia Kristeva's theories of abjection--my paper does not point to abjection in the text, but rather the significance of the abscence of abjection. This abscence, looming and revolting, arises from Whitman's attemt to refigure a conception of sublimity which delimits the material which can trigger the sublime moment. Whitman's democracy of the sublime is inclusive of those figures on the American

Some of the most well known authors in this time period were Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The reason they are so popular from the Romanticism period is because they also incorporated their transcendental ideas into their work. Romanticism "has been described as a Protestantism in the arts and letters, an ideological shift on the grand
