Chronology
14
Chapter
1:
Background on Walt Whitman
1.
The Life of Walt Whitman
19
Ed Folsom and Kenneth M. Price
Whitman began his career as a somewhat traditional
writer of fiction and editorials but underwent a transfor¬
mation in the late 1840s that caused him to develop the
distinctive free-verse style of Leaves of Grass and the pa¬
triotic tone of Drum-Taps.
2.
Whitman s Complexity Helps Readers Better
34
Understand Democracy and Themselves
Richard Gatnbino
Whitman s appreciation of the common individual stems
from his honest examination of the successes and failures
of American democracy, not from a naive spirituality or
mysticism.
3.
Whitman s Love of Country Did Not Prevent
42
Him from Speaking Out Against Injustice
David S. Reynolds
Although Whitman was a champion of the average citi¬
zen throughout his life, his positions in relation to issues
such as slavery, women s suffrage, and the role of the fed¬
eral government were far more complex than is often as¬
sumed.
Chapter
2:
Democracy in
Walt Whitman s Poetry
1.
Whitman Forged His Own Theory
53
of Democratic Poetics
Patrick Redding
Generations of poets after Whitman drew inspiration
from his ability to fuse political ideals with expressive
language. Writers of the early twentieth century eschewed
his dependence on plain language but employed a variety
of styles to make their works more democratic.
2.
Whitman Celebrated the Creative, Risk-Taking
60
Spirit of Capitalist Pioneers
Benjamin R. Barber
Whitman s poetry is emblematic of the robust and ad¬
venturous spirit of America s early capitalist pioneers,
whose individualistic spirit helped define American de¬
mocracy.
3.
Whitman s Song of Myself Presents
71
a Composite Democratic Individual
George Kateb
The contradiction between Whitman s celebration of the
individual and his faith in Americans as a group is in
fact no contradiction at all, because he viewed the essen¬
tial goodness of the individual as the most important
component of democratic society.
4.
Whitman s Principle of Democratic Comradeship
81
Rested on Bonds of Love Between Men
Stephen Alexander
British author
D.H.
Lawrence disagreed with Whitman
on many issues, but he concurred with Whitman s belief
in the acceptance of homosexual relationships as a sign
of a truly liberated society.
5.
Whitman Was Not Socially—or
87
Sexually
—
Isolated, and This Informed His
Vision of Democratic Community
Michael Moon
Whitman was not, as many critics believe, a reclusive
poet. The lists of personal acquaintances contained in his
notebooks suggest that he was extremely social, and this
geniality is reflected in his poetry.
6.
Whitman s Democratic Legacy Is Uneven
95
Michael Frank
Whitman is typically characterized as a champion of
democracy, but his contradictory views about slavery,
race, and homosexuality indicate otherwise.
7.
Whitman Took a Proslavery Position
102
in His First Novel
Martin
Klammer
Whitman s first novel, Franklin Evans, or The Inebriate,
provides several examples of his racist attitudes and
support of slavery as a young writer.
8.
The Nazis Reshaped Whitman s Democratic 111
Themes with Their Own Message
Walter
Grünzweig
The Nazis, among the most undemocratic regimes in
world history, adapted Whitman s poetic style to stir up
nationalist sentiments among the German people.
9.
Whitman s Views Earned Him Scorn
120
from the Proslavery Press
Eric Conrad
Despite evidence of Whitman s racism, reviewers often
attacked what they saw as his sympathy for the slave
population. Publishers used these attacks to market
Leaves of Grass to abolitionist readers.
10.
Whitman s Democratic Vistas Is a Key
130
to Understanding America
David Brooks
Whitman recognized the paradoxical nature of America,
which strives to be a strong nation that promotes de¬
mocracy while also fostering individualism.
11.
Whitman Offers a Complex, Imaginative
137
Model of Patriotism
Stephen Cushman
Whitman provides a helpful example for how Ameri¬
cans can celebrate their country while also engaging in
constructive criticism of it.
12.
A Twenty-First-Century Whitman Would
146
Express His Views Through Rock and Roll
David Haven Blake
Whitman s position in nineteenth-century American so¬
ciety can be likened to a modern-day rock-and-roll
singer.
13.
Whitman Loved America with a Ferocity
156
Tempered by Compassion
CK.
Williams
Despite his numerous criticisms of the government,
Whitman was extremely patriotic and strove to make
his poetry thoroughly American.
Chapter
3:
Contemporary Perspectives
on Democracy
1.
Democracy Requires an Informed Electorate
165
Henry
Aubin
Those who are not informed about the issues at stake
should abstain from voting in democratic elections.
2.
Democracy Does Not Necessarily Promote
169
Individual Autonomy
Jonah Goldberg
The collective understanding of the meaning of democ¬
racy has devolved into a competition between narrow-
minded, self-interested individuals.
3.
Short-Sighted and Self-Serving Policies
174
Doom Democracies
Randy Salzman
The federal government s response to the financial crisis
of
2008
is evidence that special-interest groups
—
not in¬
dividual voters
—
now control government policy.
4.
Excessive Individualism Creates Inequality
178
and Weakens America s Social Fabric
D. Stanley Eitzen
Distrust of government officials and admiration of self-
reliance has been taken to extremes in recent years and
threatens to destroy the democratic process in America.
5.
American
Individualism
Is
185
Threatened by a Growing Climate of
Resentment and Victimization
Peter Goodspeed
A lack of empathy for others and the rise of a victim-
hood culture have created an American society in which
any call for mutual sacrifice is ridiculously equated to
communism or fascism.
6.
Individuals Have More Opportunities
191
than Ever Before
Thomas L. Friedman
The recent increase in social unrest around the world is
due to a combination of the failure of the democratic
model and the emergence of a new global consciousness.

Great literary works resonate with readers not only because
of well-developed characters and plots, but also because
they often reflect important social themes. The Social
Issues in Literature series brings together the disciplines
of sociology and literature in a unique format designed
to support cross-curricular studies. Each volume explores
a work of literature through the lens of the major social
issue reflected in it, and features carefully selected content
representing a variety of perspectives. All volumes in the
series contain biographical and critical information about
the author; secondary excerpts offering both historical
and contemporary views of the highlighted social issue; a
timeline of the author s life; a For Further Reading section
of other works on the issue; and a detailed subject index.
