Sinopsis

In exploring the seminal works of Walt Whitman, the great American poet, many commentators have acknowledged the underlying influence of The King James Bible.However, a study has yet to elucidate the precise manner in which the Bible has shaped WhitmanâÇÖs poetic style.This is the deficit that F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp seeks to address in his new piece of literary scholarship: âÇÖDivine Style: Walt Whitman and the King James BibleâÇÖ. Dobbs-Allsopp, Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, explicitly approaches Whitman from the perspective of a biblical scholar.Utilising his wealth of expertise in this field, he constructs a compelling, erudite and methodical argument for the King James BibleâÇÖs importance in the evolution of WhitmanâÇÖs style - from his signature long lines to the prevalence of parallelism and tendency towards parataxis in his works.âÇÖDivine StyleâÇÖ focuses on WhitmanâÇÖs output in the years preceding the release of his 1855 opus âÇÖLeaves of GrassâÇÖáthrough theágeneraláperiod of the bookâÇÖsáfirst three editions.áIn this, Dobbs-AllsoppâÇÖs exploration of the period is exhaustive - covering not just Leaves of Grass but recently recovered notebooks, newly digitised manuscripts and additions to the corpus, such as the novel âÇÖLife and Adventures of Jack EngleâÇÖ.This is a work of careful, detailed scholarship, offering an authoritative commentary that will be a valuable resource for students of Whitman, biblical scholars and scholars of literature more generally.
