This book is the first to offer a comprehensive selection of Walt Whitman's Civil War poetry and prose with a full commentary on each work. Ed Folsom and Christopher Merrill carry on a dialogue with Whitman (and with each other) as they invite readers to trace how Whitman's writing about the Civil War develops, shifts, and manifests itself in different genres throughout the years of the war. The book offers forty selections of Whitman's war writings, including not only the well-known war poems but also his prose and personal letters. Each are followed by Folsom's critical examination and then by Merrill's afterword, suggesting broader contexts for thinking about the selection.
