Description
Walt Whitman's Complete Prose Works gathers the writings of the poet of Leaves of Grass in his other mode. Whitman worked as a journalist, clerk, and hospital volunteer, and his prose spans the Civil War and the growth of American democracy. Horace Traubel and others helped him shape the collection late in life.
It holds Democratic Vistas, his great essay on America's future, and Specimen Days, his memoir of war hospitals, nature, and travel. Letters, notes, and short essays fill out the record of a mind that praised the common life. Readers who know only the poems meet here the citizen, nurse, and prophet of democracy in full.
