Whitman's Ecstatic Union: Conversion and Ideology in Leaves of Grass - Studies in Major Literary Authors
Michael Sowder
Despite Whitman's intentions to write a new American Bible and 'inaugurate a religion' contemporary scholarship often ignores the religious element in his poetry. This study presents a fresh reading of 'Leaves of Grass' within the context of a 19th century antebellum evangelical culture of conversion.
