What reading level is Walt Whitman a Critical Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whitman, when we first read him, seems full of mannerisms. But a closer acquaintance convinces us that these are living characteristics, not literary antics. His one great act of rebellion left him free to be his real self, provided his strength and en durance were equal to the task. They were so, and his writing exhibits to us therefore the natural development of a great personality. In the Song of Myself the note is defiance. The poet, in a rapture of mystical affirmation, glorifies the whole... apparatus of human egotism, the evil and the good. The soul steps forth to the sound of the trumpet, claiming the Universe for its freehold, cleaving the air with the rigour and determination of its call. The whole pageant of life passes before us, with shawms and cymbals accompanying. Great things are not too great for the procession, nor small too small. The feature of the style is its blend of aggressiveness and fidelity, of delicacy and magnificence. The heat of the 158 STYLE creative impulse is equally divided between the determination to impress and the deter mination to take all impressions ; we cannot distinguish between its malleability and its force.
