Whitman and Photographs of the Self. 520 1 $a "Moving through Whitman's career four times from four different perspectives, this book investigates several major American cultural developments that occurred during Whitman's lifetime - the development of American dictionaries, the growth of baseball, the evolution of American Indian policy, the development of photography and photographic portraits - and tracks the ways these cultural actions became essential components of Whitman's innovative poetics. Resisting the usual critical temptation to present a totalized, one-dimensional Whitman, this study views him instead as multiple and contradictory, a gatherer of discordant tones and clashing approaches from a variety of surprising cultural arenas. From Webster's and Worcester's continually expanding dictionaries, Whitman learned about the possibilities of an unbounded and infinitely absorptive language, out of which a new kind of expansive poetics could emerge. He saw in baseball the inception of a national sport, one that had a rhythm, movement, and ethos distinctively American, and in it he sensed the presence of the democratic crowds and camaraderie that he would celebrate in his poetry. From the time of the Great Removal when he was a boy on through to the massacre at Wounded Knee just before his death, Whitman saw in American Indians an autochthonous otherness that he tried to absorb even as it vanished under the imperialistic hand of his expanding nation. And in photography, he found the technological counterpart of his poetics of wholeness and inclusiveness, offering the possibility of turning the world and his life into an endless series of cluttered representations. In such cultural activities, Whitman found not his poetic subjects so much as his poetic tools and techniques. These cultural actions taught him how to make native representations."--Jacket. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Knowledge $z America. 600 10 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $x Knowledge and learning. 600 17 $a Whitman, Walt, $d 1819-1892 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00039575 600 17 $a Whitman, Walt. $2 swd 650 0 $a Literature and anthropology $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indians in literature. 650 0 $a Lexicography in literature. 650 0 $a Photography in literature. 650 0 $a Baseball in literature. 650 0 $a Poetics. 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Baseball in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00828000 650 7 $a Indians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969419 650 7 $a Learning and scholarship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994857 650 7 $a Lexicography in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997025 650 7 $a Literature and anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000071 650 7 $a Photography in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061863 650 7 $a Poetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067682 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Kulturwandel $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in American literature and culture ; $v 80. 941 $a 1 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119042635.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3C2658C0A9B11EA8B2E862297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
