Beschreibung:
Ivy G. Wilson is an associate professor of English and the director of the Program in American Studies at Northwestern University, where he teaches courses on the comparative literatures of the black diaspora with a particular emphasis on African American culture. He is the author of Specters of Democracy: Blackness and the Aesthetics of Politics in the Antebellum U.S., the editor of At the Dusk of Dawn: Selected Poetry and Prose of Albery Allson Whitman, and the coeditor of The Works of James M. Whitfield: "America" and Other Writings by a Nineteenth-Century African American Poet. He lives in Chicago.
Explores the meaning of blacks and blackness in Walt Whitman's imagination and, equally significant, also illuminates the aura of Whitman in African American letters from Langston Hughes to June Jordan, Margaret Walker to Yusef Komunyakaa. The essays, which feature academic scholars and poets alike, address questions of literary history, the textual interplay between author and narrator, and race and poetic influence.
