Summary:

General Series Editors: Gay Wilson Allen and Sculley
BradleyOriginally published between 1961 and 1984, and now available
in paperback for the first time, the critically acclaimed Collected
Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of America's
most important poets.Daybooks and Notebooks is an invaluable source
for reference on Whitman's daily activities. This sixteen-year record
supplements the biographical information provided in the six volumes
of Whitman's Correspondence, functioning as an account book, diary,
journal, commonplace book, and notebook all in one.When Whitman began
to keep them, the Daybooks were a personal record of predominantly
business matters. As William White wrote in the introduction, "He was
not only the author but the publisher of his works: he was likewise
his own business manager, ship, and promoter. Whatever records he
kept, of his sales and distribution, of printing and binding figures,
of poetry and prose he sent to newspapers and magazines . .. he
entered on the right-hand pages." Volume I thus offers a rare look at
Whitman as a businessman, tending as much to practical matters as to
art.
