| Summary | "A Life of Walt Whitman" by Henry Bryan Binns is a biographical study written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life of the iconic American poet Walt Whitman, exploring his upbringing, his influences, and the context of his literary contributions. It seeks to provide insights into Whitman's character and the philosophy that shaped his poetry without claiming to be a definitive biography. The opening of the narrative introduces Binns's intent to create a personal interpretation of Whitman's life from an English perspective, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of the poet's complexities. The preface outlines his consideration of Whitman's American roots and hints at the various influences—both personal and historical—on Whitman throughout his life. He acknowledges the challenge of accurately capturing Whitman's essence, arguing that a full understanding requires a grasp of the poet's relationship with his time and his country. Near the beginning, Binns expresses gratitude toward those who aided in the creation of this book and gives an overview of the sources he's drawn from, suggesting a thoughtful and well-researched approach to Whitman's life story.
