Whitman Revolution
«
"In this outstanding collection of essays, Betsy Erkkila situates Whitman within the global struggle for democracy, and confirms her place as the preeminent scholar of Whitman's politics."— Kenneth M. Price, author Whitman in Washington: Becoming the National Poet in the Federal City
"For those working in Whitman studies, Erkkila needs no introduction. [...] Erkkila’s seminal analysis changed how we may interpret not only “Calamus” but also its counterpart, the “Children of Adam” sequence, and makes for striking reading in 2021. [...] Even so, this rich, multifaceted theorizing of “the Whitman revolution” and why poetry matters will be immensely valuable both to Whitman scholars and to readers more generally. It issues a call to action, asking us as readers to fulfill the most radical and inclusive aspects of Whitman’s democratic imaginings." — ALH Online
