Thomas relates Whitman's work to American painting of the period; examines the poet's evocation of nature; documents the revisions and additions Whitman made to Leaves of Grass in order to demonstrate that "my Book and the War are One"; and pays sympathetic attention to the postwar poetry, usually slighted.
