Book Description

"This sampling of Whitman's most important poetry from Leaves of Grass, and selections from his prose writings, offers a glimpse into the spiritual side of his most radical themes - love for country, love for others, and love of Self. Whitman seeks to tear down the belief that the spiritual resides only in the religious and embraces the idea that nothing is more divine than humankind, nothing greater than the individual soul."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
