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 \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e, but many critics believe that the book that matters most is the 1855 original. Penguin Classics proudly presents that text in its original and complete form, with an introductory essay by the writer and poet Malcolm Cowley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"I celebrate myself, and sing myself, \u003cbr\u003e And what I assume you shall assume, \u003cbr\u003e For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
