{"product_id":"leaves-of-grass-2","title":"Leaves of Grass","description":"A deluxe edition of Whitman's crowning achievement, with an introductory essay by Harold Bloom\n\nI celebrate myself, and sing myself,\nAnd what I assume you shall assume,\nFor every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.\n\nWhen Walt Whitman self-published his Leaves of Grass in July 1855, he altered the course of literary history. One of the greatest masterpieces of American literature, it redefined the rules of poetry while describing the soul of the American character. Throughout his great career, Whitman continuously revised, expanded, and republished Leaves of Grass, but as Harold Bloom reminds us, the book that matters most is the 1855 original. In celebration of the poem’s 150th anniversary, Penguin Classics proudly presents the 1855 text in its original and complete form, with a specially commissioned introductory essay by Harold Bloom.\n\nFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
