An Undetected Echo of Tennyson\u27s "Ulysses" in Walt Whitman\u27s "Leaves of Grass"

oai:wwqr:id:33671This discovery article explores the previously unrecognized semantic resonance between the concluding verses of Alfred Lord Tennyson\u27s poem "Ulysses" and Walt Whitman\u27s poem "The Untold Want." The English and American poets were not only contemporaries but also friends who admired each other\u27s work and corresponded over the course of two decades.

“Building the House that Serves Him Longer”: A History of Walt Whitman\u27s Tomb

In letters and conversations with friends and acquaintances, Whitman\u27s ideas about his "burial house" gradually took shape over the four years prior to his death in March 1892. The completion of Whitman\u27s tomb represented the culmination of a complicated series of decisions. While the location of Whitman\u27s tomb, its design, and its cost are topics that have received various critical and biographical interpretations, this essay includes recently uncovered materials that provide a clearer understanding of the process that unfolded in the years prior to Whitman\u27s death regarding his tomb.&nbsp

Fellowship Dinners and The Armory Show

This essay contextualizes and analyzes two previously unrecorded letters from the artist Robert Henri to Horace Traubel. Dating to 1909 and 1913, they broaden what is known about Henri’s relationship with both Whitman and Traubel’s Whitman Fellowship, as well as Traubel’s response to modern art. Building on the work of Ruth Bohan, this essay forwards new insights into Henri’s relationship with Traubel and expands our understanding of Whitman’s influence on Henri’s teaching. Henri was devoted to Whitman. Knowing this, Horace Traubel hoped to bring Henri further into the fellowship Dinners, but this essay finds Henri repeatedly declined to attend and speak and used his classroom instead as the outlet for his Whitman lectures
