Excellent copy. vi, 73 pages portrait; NOTE - Whitman did actually visit Canada late in his life, and wrote about his experiences of what was his only excursion outside the borders of the United States. These experiences did not, it is true, find their way in any substantial form into his poetry. His only literary record of the excursion was a brief account written for the London (Ontario) Advertiser, an account ultimately incorporated into Specimen Days (1893), and a series of rough notes edited after his death by William Sloane Kennedy as published here in Walt Whitman's Diary in Canada, with Extracts from Other of His Diaries and Literary Note-Books (1904). ' These Canadian writings have received a modicum of textual and biographical attention, but no one has seriously considered them in terms of their possible significance for Whitman's art. Neither the diary nor the newspaper article is, of course, a polished literary creation; yet as the editors of the New York University Press standard edition of Whitman's work have suggested by their exhaustively inclusive poliCies, Whitman is a writer whose every scrap of literary output repays careful scrutiny. { Edited from Project Muse }. …
