"This is literary criticism of a high order, written with freshness and vigor. It evaluates Whitman - the man and the poet - in modern terms; it presents him life-size, with understanding; it shows what made him write as he did, and what he meant to express. Not a eulogy, nor a line-by-line analysis of every poem, this is a stimulating, over-all analysis of Whitman's life and work. Since 1855, the name Walt Whitman has become almost as familiar as the national anthem. He has been hailed as the Poet of Democracy, as the "good gray poet", and he has also been characterized as an obscene and immoral old man. He was, as Professor Chase points out, perhaps some of all these things. "
