Marc Notes: Proceedings of a scholarly conference held at Hofstra University.; Prepared under the auspices of Hofstra University.; Includes bibliographical references and index.; Whitman in the eighties: a bibliographical essay: p. [217]-224. Publisher Marketing: The contributors analyze Whitman's life and work as a reflection of his concerns for such societal issues as war and peace, women's rights, and the threat of slavery to American democracy, as well as a reflection of more personal issues of sexual preference and familial ties. Each of these and many other topics receive careful consideration and attention by scholars who have devoted much of their professional lives to aspects of Whitman's life and work.
