Approaches to Teaching Whitman's Leaves of Grass

Although the series editor is careful to claim no more rarefied goal than better teaching of undergraduates, one would have to be a not only erudite but also awesomely gifted Whitmanian to command already the information and insights that Kummings marshals through nineteen contributors.--American Literature This is a useful book. Most of us know little about what our colleagues nationwide (and worldwide) do when teaching Whitman (or any other author). . . . Every 'classroom-oriented' essay in this volume repays careful reading.--Walt Whitman Quarterly Review
