Their varying approaches mirror the diversity of contemporary scholarship and the breadth of target that Whitman affords for such examination. The authors of these essays address a wide range of issues befitting a poet of his stature and ambiguity: Whitman and photography, Whitman and feminist scholarship, Whitman and modernism, Whitman and the poetics of address, Whitman and the poetics of present participles, Whitman and Borges, Whitman and Isadora Duncan, Whitman and the Civil War, Whitman and the politics of his era, and Whitman and the changing nature of his style in his later years. Addressed to an audience of students and general readers and written in a nontechnical prose designed to promote accessibility to the study of Whitman, this volume includes a chronology of Whitman's life and suggestions for further reading. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a811/.3 702 $aGreenspan$b Ezra 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205071603316 996 $aCambridge Companion to Walt Whitman$91264360 997 $aUNISA
