Journal Article
Whitman, Democracy, and the English Clerisy
2001
Overview
It has long been a puzzle of literary history that in the nineteenth century Walt Whitman enjoyed far greater popularity in England than in the US. Elfenbein argues that Whitman became in England the poet of \"populist elitism,\" a movement to reinvent the traditional role of the clerisy on the part of men newly enfranchised by the Third Reform Act.
