May-be, if I don't do anything else, I shall send out the most wayward, spontaneous, fragmentary book ever printed.'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the best kept secrets of modern autobiographical literature, Whitman's autobiography moves in brisk, episodic fashion to chronicle the life of one of the world's best loved and most influential poets. Experimental in form, lyrical in expression, and rich in experiential content, \u003cem\u003eSpecimen Days\u003c\/em\u003e still awaits a much wider readership than it has hitherto commanded. Whitman gives us his life as lived in relation to the shifting urban and rural ecologies of a young nation -a nation that had freshly emerged from catastrophic civil war and that was assuming the vanguard of artistic, technological, economic, political, and philosophical modernity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
