Summary: "Complete Prose Works" by Walt Whitman is a collection of essays, memoirs, and reflections written during the late 19th century. This comprehensive volume encompasses various themes, but it prominently features Whitman's observations and experiences related to the American Civil War, his personal history, and his deep connection to nature and humanity. At the start of this collection, Whitman sets the stage for a narrative that intertwines autobiographical elements with poignant reflections on life, death, and the human condition. He introduces his inclination to share unpolished diary entries and notes, detailing his experiences during the war as a volunteer nurse. He recalls the casualties of battle and the care of wounded soldiers, vividly depicting the heart-wrenching climate of war and its aftermath. The opening establishes a personal yet universal perspective, making it clear that these prose works not only chronicle his experiences but also aim to encapsulate broader insights into American life during a tumultuous era.
