- Abstract:
- The article examines the sentimental affect in poet Walt Whitman's works as a poetic and political strategy which moves beyond traditional misreadings of this literary mode as being uncreative. According to the author, sentimentalism was a major part of Whitman's egalitarian vision of society. His book "Leaves of Grass" is also discussed.
