Published Works

Books by Whitman

Here users will find the six American editions of Leaves of Grass published in Whitman's lifetime as well as the so-called deathbed edition of 1891–92. In addition to Leaves of Grass, we make available several other of Whitman's books, both poetry and prose, including Drum-Taps, Sequel to Drum-Taps, Memoranda During the War, and Complete Prose Works. Also available are two British editions of Whitman's poetry, produced by William Michael Rossetti and Ernest Rhys in collaboration with Whitman. Whitman's novel Franklin Evans was originally published as a supplement to the New World in 1842 and is therefore included under "Periodicals" below. Whitman's 1852 novel Life and Adventures of Jack Engle, first published serially in the Sunday Dispatch, is currently being edited for publication on the Whitman Archive.
