First published in 1897, "The Wound Dresser" contains a collection of Walt Whitmans letters written from hospitals in Washington during the American civil war. This fascinating volume offers a unique glimpse into Whitmans experiences volunteering as a nurse in army hospitals during the American civil war, providing the reader with a telling insight into the mind of Americas greatest poet. "The Wound Dresser" was published posthumously by Whitmans literary executor Richard Maurice Bucke. Walt Whitman (1819 1892) was an American essayist, poet, and journalist who was pivotal to the transition from transcendentalism to realism. His work was notably divisive and claimed by many to be obscene when first published, but he is now considered to be one of the most influential people in the American poetic canon and the "father of free verse". Other notable works by this author include "Franklin Evans" (1842), "Life and Adventures of Jack Engle" (1852), and "Leaves of Grass" (1855). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, highquality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
