| Summary | "Whitman: A Study" by John Burroughs is a literary critique and analysis written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the poetry and philosophies of Walt Whitman, exploring his life, influences, and the significance of his contributions to American literature. Burroughs presents Whitman as an unconventional and seminal figure, highlighting his unique approach to poetry that departs from traditional norms. The opening of the study sets the stage for Burroughs’s admiration of Whitman, as he reflects on the environment he associates with the poet—wild and elemental landscapes that evoke a sense of raw beauty and vitality. Burroughs recounts his initial encounters with Whitman's work, expressing fascination coupled with confusion. He acknowledges the challenge Whitman's style poses to conventional readers and emphasizes the poet's disarming presence, which enhances his literary output. This examination invites readers to appreciate Whitman not only as a writer but as a prophetic voice that embodies the spirit of democracy and humanity.
