520    As scholarship has made its importance to American letters
       more manifest, editions of the 1855 version of Whitman's 
       masterpiece have multiplied. This one, prepared in honor 
       of the poem's 150th anniversary, will be hard to beat. 
       Edited by major Americanist Reynolds (Walt Whitman's 
       America, etc.), it comes as close as possible, without 
       being a facsimile, to reproducing Whitman's original text,
       which he famously self-published. The familiar litho of 
       the young rough with open collar opens the book, and 
       Reynold's terrific and informative afterword closes it, 
       along with contemporary reviews (some written by Whitman 
       himself) and Emerson's famous letter ("I greet you at the 
       beginning of a great career..."). Those who know Whitman 
       only through the beautiful but bloated 1892 "deathbed" 
       edition of Leaves of Grass will find here a lean, searing 
       celebration of self.
