The present anthology of interpretative essays and research papers is a unique effort to approach the great nineteenth-century American poet Walt Whitman with new critical insights and viewpoints. The papers have been contributed by erudite scholars from different countries of the world. These contemporary points of view proffer new ways to understanding the poet whose simplicity is too enormously complex. The poet has been discussed for his poetics, politics, eroticism, philosophy, metaphysics, and many other important issues. As the poet Walt Whitman is prescribed in the syllabi of universities and colleges across the globe, the book will prove immensely useful to the students and teachers of English and researchers in the field of American literature and poetry.
