Synopsis

This edition returns to the original text through which Whitman first introduced himself to the wider world. For readers who know the later, revised versions, the 1855 form can feel unexpectedly new, with differences that may be surprising and, at times, preferable to subsequent changes.

It is presented here for those who want to encounter the poem in its earliest published state, and to appreciate the immediacy and freshness of its vision.
