"""Broadview and its editors have pulled off a minor miracle: It is terribly difficult to anthologize Whitman's works well, and yet they've managed to avoid all the usual pitfalls, presenting the poet and his selected works in all their dazzling complexity and context, and providing readers perhaps the most compact, informative, and well-designed Whitman anthology I've seen printed this century. This book is destined to be a quintessential compendium, one to celebrate and sing."" -- Zachary Turpin, University of Idaho ""With thoughtful annotations and illuminating context, this edition is sure to interest experienced Whitman scholars and novices alike. It offers an accessible introduction to Whitman in all of his complexity, inviting readers into his vast and conflicting world. Careful not to oversimplify the 'American bard, ' this edition instead offers us kaleidoscopic glimpses into Whitman as Civil War nurse, newspaper editor, political activist, racist, Abraham Lincoln elegist, travel writer, Manifest Destiny champion, patriot, lover, and more. Here Whitmanians will find new texts, angles, images, and provocations to enrich their scholarship. Meanwhile, newcomers to Whitman will find in this volume a writer whose words still resonate today."" -- Abby Goode, Plymouth State University"
