Welcome to Celebrate Poe - My name is George Bartley, and this is episode 389 - What Did Whitman Read?

Ghost sound
   
Hello, Mr. Whitman.

Greetings, George.

Mr. Whitman - I mean Walt - we have been talking about your youth.  And I understand that you were largely self-taught in many respects.  It seems that you greatly enjoyed reading Shakespeare and the King James Version of the Bible.

I certainly was impressed by Mr. Shakespeare’s works during my youth - as well as later in life - and basked in the beauty of his words.

Yes, from what I understand, your view of Shakespeare’s works evolved - if that is the right word - during your life.
