Walt (Walter) Whitman (1819-1892)

The American poet - democrat and publicist Walt (Walter) Whitman (1819-1892) was the first who stood to support - realism in the USA. He was born to the family of a farmer in a village on the long - Island, which is now a part of New York. Later the family moved to Brooklyn - in the suburbs of New York. Having no opportunity to finish high school, Walt still a youth had to earn a living. He worked as a messenger and then as an apprentice (learner) in a printing - house.

The great poet of America was self - taught. He gained wide knowledge and became a well - educated person. He reached the top of poetry thanks to his self - motivated reading. Whitman fought for the interests of working people in new conditions. In the 40's he turned to journalism and wrote for the newspapers of Brooklyn.

In 1846 he became an editor of the large democratic newspaper «Brooklyn Daily Eagle». He worked there for two years (which coincided with the Mexican War 1846-1848).

Whitman was against the Mexican - American war (predatory war was a predatory war in American history) and one of his editorials - leading articles ended with the statement that the war should be put to an end.

Returning to Brooklyn at the close of 1848, Whitman edited the newspaper «A Free Man» where he continued his persistent struggle against slave - owners and their accomplices.

When he had to leave his post at the newspaper he became a carpenter. Whitman's best friends were workers, drivers of vans and omnibuses, sailors and fishermen. A barbarian law about returning runaway slaves enacted in 1850 under the pressure of the slave - owners caused an explosion of indignation from common Americans and these events avoided Whitman's muse. In his poems. The «Song of the Flabbiness», «Bloody Money», «Killed in the House of Friends». he expresses his anger against slave - owners and their accomplices.

In 1855, as an unemployed journalist he collected a little volume of poems and rhymes called «Leaves of Grass». The roofs of his poetry went into an American folklore. He found support in American humor and wrote in blank - verse.

Whitman perceived all characteristic qualities of humor and folklore: boundless exaggeration (overstatement), cosmic seals, social criticism, Davie Croquet's good Natured boasting and Paul Bangan's heroic inspiration (enthusiasm).

Whitman states that all people are equal, class and racial prejudices should be swept aside.

In the first chapter of the poem «Song of Myself» Whitman writes:

I celebrate myself, and sing myself…

The poetical «I» of Walt Whitman is common man, man in general. Whitman's heart is open to everybody. The poet expresses his heartfelt feelings and love towards the working people. He merges (combines) with the people.

The poem «Song of Myself» turns into a hymn to a man of labor. But its philosophical meaning is wider, that is, a hymn to life on the earth.

In «Leaves of Grass» he raises his voice against slavery - the shame of America.

In «Boston Ballad» Whitman castigates the American bourgeoisie who accepted a low about fugitive agvols. In his pamphlet, «The 18th Presidential Elections», (1856) the poet analyses the political systems of the USA and shows that the dreams of Americans for freedom and democracy have nothing to do with social system of America. Whitman criticizes both Republicans and Democrats.

Whitman understands that the Americans people, who won a victory over the slave - owning fourth only to find themselves in a new servitude into the slavery of monopolies. About it he spoke in his treatise «Democratic Vistas» (1871). This is a manifesto for the defense of realism.

The poet condemns the spirit of gain that the crisis, about American democracy of seared America he speaks about. One of the signs of the decay was the ground, which sometimes takes place during elections.
