About this episode
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.
