Summary:

Throughout his life, Walt Whitman continually revised and re-released
Leaves of Grass. He added and deleted words, emended lines, divided
poems, dropped and created titles, and shifted the order of poems.
Leaves of Grass: A Textual Variorum of the Printed Poems includes all
the variants that Whitman ever published, from the collection's first
appearance in 1855 through the posthumous "Old Age Echoes" annex
printed in 1897. Each edition was unique, with its own character and
emphasis, and the Textual Variorum enables scholars to follow the
development of both the individual poems and the work as a
whole.Volume I contains introductory material, including a chronology
of the poems and a summary of all the editions and annexes, along
with the poems from 1855 and 1856. Volume II includes the poems from
1860 through 1867, including the first appearance of "When Lilacs
Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd" and "O Captain! my Captain!" Volume
III features the poems 1870-1891, plus the "Old Ages Annex" and an
index to the three-volume set.
