Memoranda During the War
"As Peter Coviello points out in his excellent introduction to this volume, Whitman came late to the scene of the Civil War, but, when he did so, he produced one of the few truly indispensable books about it.Memoranda During the Waris written in prose that often compares well for beauty and intensity with the best poems inLeaves of Grass. It is easy to see why the book has served as a model for writers on the desolations of war from Stephen Crane to Hemingway to our own day." --Michael Moon, Johns Hopkins University--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
