Synopsis
Excerpt from Walt Whitman and the Germans: A Study
Whitman's admitted indebtedness to foreign productions explains the aim and scope of the present investigation to ex amine, how far he was acquainted with the Germans, how highly he estimated the German spiritual life, and, partly, how the German literary and philosophical]productions influenced his works? Considering the world-wide flight of Whitman's mind, this inquiry may seem almost petty; more than once the mention of German lands, poets, philosophers, musicians is grouped together with those of scores of other nations. Yet the passages where he treats of German representatives inde pendently are frequent enough. In tracing such passages we may furnish a modest literary and cultural-historical document and add our small share to the stores of the German American Annals.
