Summary "Walt Whitman: An Address by Robert Green Ingersoll" is a public speech and tribute delivered by Robert G. Ingersoll in the late 19th century, specifically in the 1890s. This book serves to honor Walt Whitman, a monumental figure in American poetry known for his work "Leaves of Grass," and to articulate the significance of his contributions to literature and society. The address highlights themes of democracy, individuality, and the human experience. In this address, Ingersoll reflects on Whitman's groundbreaking ideas and the fierce passion embedded in his poetry, particularly his belief in the integrity of the human body and spirit. He emphasizes Whitman's defiance against societal norms and his advocacy for personal freedom and self-expression. The speech also acknowledges the misunderstandings and criticisms Whitman faced during his lifetime while celebrating his ability to give voice to the oppressed and his immense love for humanity and nature. Ingersoll concludes with an emotionally rich acknowledgment of Whitman's lasting impact, reinforcing the notion that his literary legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
