The Disenthralled Hosts of Freedom - Party Prophecy in the Antebellum Editions of Leaves of Grass

Riassunto

Walt Whitman wrote three distinct editions of Leaves of Grass before the Civil War. During those years he was passionately committed to anti-slavery, and fully attuned to the kind of rhetoric coming out of the new Republican party. This study explores how the prophecies of the pre-war Leaves of Grass relate to the prophecy of this new party.
