Past critics have tended to read this silence as evidence of Whitman's indifference to the Civil War during its critical early months. In this penetrating, original, and beautifully written book, Ted Genoways reconstructs those forgotten years--locating Whitman directly through unpublished letters and never-before-seen manuscripts, as well as mapping his associations through rare period newspapers and magazines in which he published. Genoways's account fills a major gap in Whitman's biography and debunks the myth that Whitman was unaffected by the country's march to war. Instead,Walt Whitman and the Civil Warreveals the poet's active participation in the early Civil War period and elucidates his shock at the horrors of war months before his legendary journey to Fredericksburg, correcting in part the poet's famous assertion that the "real war will never get in the books. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Knowledge $z United States. 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 600 17 $a Whitman, Walt. $2 swd 941 $a 8 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718085308.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20230707035816.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044200.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180127063514.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824031826.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20101005011030.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20100611031501.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100503143337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7C194FE656D911DFB46C8AF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IONInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
