Through reference to his entire oeuvre, his published literary criticism, and his private conversations, letters and manuscripts, it seeks to understand the extent to which Whitman experienced the anxiety of influence as he sought to establish himself as America's poet-prophet or bard (and the extent to which he sought to conceal such influence).Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)EnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican LiteratureHILCCInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)EnglishLanguages & LiteraturesAmerican Literature811/.3Schmidgall Gary1243162PQKBBOOK9910154323303321Containing multitudes : Walt Whitman and the British literary tradition2883561UNINA
