Answers
Answer:
.............
Explanation:
Whitman is a great self-promoter who refers to himself as the "American Bard at Last."
A bard is merely another way of saying someone is a great poet.
William Shakespeare is the Bard of English Literature.
Walt Whitman feels as if he is just as great as Shakespeare, perhaps even greater.
Although one of America's greatest self-promoters of that era, Walt Whitman was a conceited man. Whitman sees himself as the voice of America. He claims to be a common man who has the same feelings as all Americans. Whitman is the poet of everything American: the good, the bad, the ugly, the cultured east, wild west, south, and the Eskimo in the canoe.
Whitman has a way of identifying with all Americans. Whitman sees himself in terms of others. He sees himself as a representative of America. He sees himself as universal.
One can become universal by writing about himself.
When Walt Whitman sings the Song of Myself, he is singing the song of Americans.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a letter to Whitman in 1852. Emerson was embarrassed to find the letter he had written to Whitman in Whitman’s book.
Walt Whitman was much unlike the other authors and poets of this genre, especially Emily Dickinson.
