Toward the end of 1862 Walt Whitman traveled to war-torn Virginia in search of his brother, George.
From the rear cover
"The mystical origins and spiritual force of Leaves of Grass--a work that both embodies and defines the American soul--will always remain a mystery. But there's also the puzzle of Whitman himself. Jerome Loving's scrupulously researched and judicious biography fits so many new pieces into that puzzle--about the man who became a poet, and the poet who became a legend."--J. D. McClatchy, poet and critic
"Hats off to Jerome Loving, who combines lucidity and learning in equal measure! Walt Whitman is a testament of fidelity to the embattled cause of accurate, untendentious historical scholarship. Here is Whitman just as he was, for better or worse, in his own time rather than our own. The book is riveting from start to finish."--Frederick Crews, University of California, Berkeley
"A grand, comprehensive, rich, and satisfying biography of America's greatest poet. Loving is one of the pre-eminent Whitman scholars of our time, and with this book he has created the capstone biography of Whitman. By that I mean that it builds on all its predecessors, synthesizes a mountain of Whitman scholarship and criticism, and then goes on beyond it all to create a vast, detailed, panoramic view of Whitman's life, the most complete, by far, of all the Whitman biographies."--Robert D. Richardson, author of Emerson: The Mind on Fire
