Interesting but too detailed for the casual reader.

Revisado: 05-08-23

Walt Whitman’s America is a well written and well narrated audio book. It covers the life and times of Walt Whitman which is it say it is a book about the formation of an unique American culture. It is deeply interesting and informative. For the history buff who focus on the political and economic development of America - it gives a different and more enriching view of the 19th century. Focusing on the literary, scientific, social and sexual politics of the 19 century it traces the development of not only whitman’s writing, but also of American culture more generally.

However, this book is significantly more detail than the casual reader can tolerate. Spending literally hours on transcendentalism,reform movements, civil rights, religious ideology, scientific developments, changing views of sexuality and more - the book becomes a slog for the reader.

The book represents an uncomfortable compromise, too detailed for the casual reader, or even fan of Whitman but certainly not scholarly enough for the true scholar - this book is really only appropriate for the amateur historian or someone who is deeply interested in 19 century America and Whitman.
