International Conference on 'Whitman and the world'.
Geoffrey M. Sill : Walt Whitman and his works have been absorbed more affectionately by the rest of the world than he has been by his own country. In France, China, the Soviet Union, and many South American countries, he is regarded as the spokesman for that romantic impulse through which the individual self declares its liberty, or affirms its solidarity with its comrades, regardless of time, race, or national identity.
