New York: Philosophical Library, 1955. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover, lacking dust-jacket. 178 pages. Bibliography, Index. First edition. This academic thesis touches and expands upon the major theme in Whitman's poetry, that of the American Democratic ideal, with a useful biographical outline and a discussion of Whitman in the context of his time, which mentions his views on slavery within the United States.
