SynopsisThe original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format. Initially a public failure, Walt Whitman was actually an innovator of American poetry, and Leaves of Grass is his life work. From solemnity to joy, Whitman explores the United States in all its greatness and smallness and invented a new type of poetry along the way. With expert commentaries and critical analyses, CliffsNotes on Leaves of Grass helps you explore the most significant poems from Whitman's final edition of Leaves of Grass. You'll also gain insight into the form, style, and symbolism he used to express and celebrate his own self, America, and life's mysteries.
