Abstract

Describes Henry Clapp, Jr.'s reprinting of an unknown article from a French periodical "announcing a forthcoming French translation of Leaves of Grass and offering a perceptive prefatory commentary on its poetry," and explores the significance of the announcement of the translation (which was never published) and Whitman's response to the idea of a transatlantic audience.
