书籍简介

1855年，沃尔特·惠特曼自费出版了一版《草叶集》，这是一部充满幻想的十二首诗。他的作品受到了一种独特的美国神秘主义形式的影响，这种形式被称为超验主义，它避开了当时的一般社会和文化，其特点是具有爆炸式的创新自由诗风格和以前不可提及的主题。颂扬自然，颂扬人体，赞美感官和性爱，这部不朽的作品被谴责为“不道德”。尽管存在争议，惠特曼仍在继续创作《草叶集》，在《草叶集》出版后的几十年里，他通过每次新印刷都添加新诗来增加他的影响力。

这一版展示了惠特曼1855年出版的《草叶集》中的12首诗。其中包括一些现代伟大的诗歌:《自我之歌》、《我唱带电的身体》和《有一个孩子出来了》(在《草叶集》还没有名字)，这些作品即使在今天也在继续颠覆传统的美和原创观念。

In 1855, Walt Whitman published — at his own expense — the first edition of Leaves of Grass, a visionary volume of twelve poems. Showing the influence of a uniquely American form of mysticism known as Transcendentalism, which eschewed the general society and culture of the time, the writing is distinguished by an explosively innovative free verse style and previously unmentionable subject matter. Exalting nature, celebrating the human body, and praising the senses and sexual love, the monumental work was condemned as "immoral." Whitman continued evolving Leaves of Grass despite the controversy, growing his influential work decades after its first appearance by adding new poems with each new printing.

This edition presents the original twelve poems from Whitman's premier 1855 publication of Leaves of Grass. Included are some of the greatest poems of modern times: "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "There Was a Child Went Forth" (which in the first editions of Leaves of Grass were still nameless), works that continue to upset conventional notions of beauty and originality even today.
