Walt Whitman and the Civil War by Ted Genoways
Shortly after the third edition of Leaves of Grass was published in 1860, Walt Whitman seemed to drop off the literary map, only to emerge two and a half years later. This work reconstructs the forgotten years of Whitman through letters and manuscripts, as well as mapping his associations through newspapers and magazines in which he published.
"Genoways' account fills in a major gap in previous biographies of Whitman and rebuts the canard that Whitman was unaffected by the war and the run-up to it" -- Jay Strafford Richmond Times-Dispatch "A wonderful book." -- Barbara Rich Daily Progress (Charlottesville, Va) "Paints a vivid picture of an evolving America reacting to an internal conflict that virtually no one was prepared to address." Foreword "This compelling narrative will change the interpretation of Whitman and this time period... Highly recommended." Choice "Fascinating... Interesting and original information ... [is] uncovered through Genoways' original research." -- Helene Littmann Journal Of Historical Biography
