The Maturing Vision of Walt Whitman's 1871 Version of Drum-Taps

Abstract

Examines the 1871 "Drum-Taps" cluster on its own terms and in relation to other editions, arguing that "the drastic reorganization of the poems into a narrative pattern indicates Whitman's shifting attitude toward the war as it receded from his day-to-day life into the historic past."
