Research title: The Post-Transcendentalist Poetics of Walt Whitman
Research Summary
Walt Whitman's Post-Transcendentalist Poetics of New York
My research takes Whitman’s New York-inflected transcendentalism as a geocultural phenomenon of New England transcendentalism. I consider how to place Whitman’s transcendentalist poetics on a continuum of transcendentalist philosophies with a view to characterising a distinctive New Yorker flavour of transcendentalism.
