Myerson's massive bibliography documents the numerous editions, reprintings, and rearrangements of Whitman's lifetime project the singularly important Leaves of Grass as well as miscellaneous pieces: individually published poems, magazine and newspaper articles, broadsides, circulars, advertisements, and other prose works. Thoroughly illustrated (title pages, bindings, etc.), the volume also includes an index showing the publication history of the poems in Leaves of Grass and a bibliography of the principal works about Whitman. The clearest explication of this intricate publishing history yet accomplished. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
