Walt Whitman and the World edited by Gay Wilson Allen and Ed Folsom University of Iowa Press, 1995 Paper: 978-0-87745-498-4 \| eISBN: 978-1-58729-004-6 Library of Congress Classification PS3238.W356 1995 Dewey Decimal Classification 811.3 ABOUT THIS BOOK \| AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY \| REVIEWS \| TOC \| REQUEST ACCESSIBLE FILE ABOUT THIS BOOK Celebrating the various ethnic traditions that melded to create what we now call American literature, Whitman did his best to encourage an international reaction to his work. But even he would have been startled by the multitude of ways in which his call has been answered. By tracking this wholehearted international response and reconceptualizing American literature, Walt Whitman and the World demonstrates how various cultures have appropriated an American writer who ceases to sound quite so narrowly American when he is read into other cultures' traditions. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Ed Folsom is Roy J. Carver Professor of English and editor of the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review at the University of Iowa. Coeditor of the Walt Whitman Archive, he is the author ofWalt Whitman's Native Representations, coeditor of Walt Whitman and the World (Iowa, 1995), and editor of Walt Whitman: The Centennial Essays (Iowa, 1994), among many other publications. The late Gay Wilson Allen was emeritus professor of English at New York University, the author of biographies of Walt Whitman, William James, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the general editor of The Collected Writings of Walt Whitman. REVIEWS “A simply splendid collection of responses to Whitman's poetry in a great diversity of voices, forms, and nationalities. The spirit of the performance is—what else?—Whitmanian, grandly and lovingly executed.”—Nineteenth-Century Literature “An extraordinary book in both ambition and execution, edited by two of the most distinguished Whitman scholars representing the older and younger generations. The book shows the American poet of self and democracy, some 150 years after he launched his spiritual journey, still sauntering down that open road.”—James E. Miller, Jr., University of Chicago “This book brings together the best critics and the most representative views of Whitman from around the globe. Its internationality reflects the poet's own grand ideas about democracy and diversity.”—Jerome Loving, Texas A&M University TABLE OF CONTENTS Contents: Introduction: "Salut au Monde!" 1 Whitman and the British Isles 11 Whitman in Spain and Latin America 71 Whitman in Brazil 128 Whitman in Portugal 147 Whitman in the German-Speaking Countries 160 Whitman in the Netherlands 231 Whitman in France and Belgium 233 Whitman in Italy 268 Whitman in the Former Yugoslavia 282 Whitman in Poland 295 Whitman in Russia 300 Whitman in Sweden 339 Whitman in Denmark and Norway 357 Whitman in Finland 381 Whitman in Israel 386 Whitman in India 396 Whitman in China 406 Whitman in japan 429 Selected Bibliographies 437 Notes on Contributors 467 REQUEST ACCESSIBLE FILE If you are a student who has a disability that prevents you from using this book in printed form, BiblioVault may be able to supply you with an electronic file for alternative access.
