Reviews

Andrew Lawson's mastery of primary and secondary sources produces an authoritative revisionist reading of Whitman's place in the social system of his day. We are introduced to a Whitman who is edgily confrontational rather than ebullient, and the poetry is refreshed by being read as zestfully combative. Walt Whitman and the Class Struggle is an arresting corrective contribution to current Whitman scholarship. ---M. Wynn Thomas, author of The Lunar Light of Whitman's Poetry and Transatlantic Connections: Whitman U.S., Whitman U.K.
