Mark Van Doren fu un poeta, scrittore e critico americano la cui quasi quarantennale carriera di professore di inglese alla Columbia University plasmò profondamente una generazione di pensatori e scrittori influenti. Il suo lavoro, radicato in un profondo impegno con le tradizioni letterarie, esplora la condizione umana con un intelletto acuto e una voce lirica. La prosa e la poesia magistrali di Van Doren dimostrano una notevole capacità di distillare idee complesse in osservazioni accessibili ma profonde. I suoi importanti contributi alla poesia, riconosciuti con un Premio Pulitzer, e la sua acuta critica offrono riflessioni durature sull'arte e sulla cultura.

When Walt Whitman self-published Leaves of Grass in 1855 it was a slim volume of twelve poems and he was a journalist and poet from Long Island, little-known but full of ambition and poetic fire. To give a new voice to the new nation shaken by civil war, he spent his entire life revising and adding to the work, but his initial act of bravado in answering Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for a national poet has made Whitman the quintessential American writer. This rich cross-section of his work includes poems from throughout Whitman's lifetime as published on his deathbed edition of 1891 and other works.
