To give a new voice to the new nation shaken by civil war, he spent his entire life revising and adding to the work, but his initial act of bravado in answering Ralph Waldo EmersonP#39;s call for a national poet has made Whitman the quintessential American writer. This rich cross-section of his work includes poems from throughout WhitmanP#39;s lifetime as published on his deathbed edition of 1891, short stories, his prefaces to the many editions of Plt;iPgt;Leaves of GrassPlt;\/iPgt;, and a variety of prose selections, including Plt;iPgt;Democratic Vistas, Specimen DaysPlt;\/iPgt;, and Plt;iPgt;Slang in AmericaPlt;\/iPgt;.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
