Editorial Reviews

From the Actor

This program has been reviewed and recommended by the New York City Board of Education.


Product Description

Walt Whitman is generally acknowledged to be a true giant of American literature - often considered to be the father of American poetry. When he was 42 years of age, the most profound event in his life occurred. The American Civil War. While some of his Civil War poems are among his most famous, few realize his personal involvement in that war, serving as a battlefield nurse and tending to the wounded and the dying of that awful conflict. This program reviews his extraordinary life and presents excerpts of some of his greatest works.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for Education!, May 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have to say that I was disappointed because all I got was a narrator who recited some of Walt Whitman's poems. We do get to see where he grew up and how he became poet of democracy. We get to understand his relationship and his involvement in the civil war. His poetry reflects our country during that critical time when brother was against brother. Whitman was a brilliant, articulate man and on the shortlist for the New Jersey Hall of Fame. I wished we knew more about him in this 30 minutes documentary style. It will be good for schools but not much else.
