Resumo
In this dissertation we will discuss Walt Whitman’s poetry in the aspects that articulate the lyric and the epic in an epilyric unity, taking the 1892 edition of Leaves of Grass as its study object. We shall ascertain the theoretical assumptions of modernity and modern poetry characteristics, which are crucial to the understanding of the poet’s aesthetic and ideological project, as delivered in his preface for the 1855 edition, as well as his importance to modernism in poetry in the following century. Subsequently, we shall examine carefully the subjectivity expressed in the book at issue, which is polymorphically shaped, as it’s showed by the categories proposed by Kinnaird (1962) and Bloom (2001). Finally, we shall find how Whitman used aspects of the epical literature to construct his oeuvre and carry out his design to become the national poet of the United States.
