The final lilt of songs : late Whitman and the long American century
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Critics have long dismissed Walt Whitman's late poetry as a frail echo of his ambitious antebellum poems; subsequent authors often view him as a poet whose utopian political vision no longer offers a tenable model for their respective realities. In both of these cases, Whitman remains a poet in many ways lost to us. Contesting these narratives of decline and desuetude, my dissertation rescues the poet's late work from neglect and demonstrates how Whitman, precisely in the estranging forms his late work takes, offers a charged poetic response to the post-Civil War years and plays a critically overlooked role in conceptions of subsequent poetries.
