David S. Reynolds presents a comprehensive examination of Walt Whitman, situating the poet within the volatile social and political landscape of nineteenth-century America. By analyzing the interplay between Whitman’s radical verse and the cultural currents of his era, this biography illuminates how the poet synthesized the diverse, often contradictory, elements of a rapidly evolving nation into a singular, democratic vision.
