Today's readers get a sense of the "ur-text" of Leaves of Grass , the first version of this historic volume, before Whitman made many revisions of both format and style. The volume also boasts an afterword by Whitman authority David Reynolds, in which he discusses the 1855 edition in its social and cultural contexts: its background, its reception, and its contributions to literary history. Review: Original Edition of Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”. Poetry at its most powerful! - Walt Whitman rewrote many versions of his iconic, superb poem “Leaves of Grass” throughout his long and richly nourishing life. I find this original version to be his best work — fresh, exuberant, utterly unadulterated by time and changed perspectives. Highly recommend buying this edition. Put aside enough time to gobble this edition all at once, if possible. Reading or rereading Whitman’s original 1855 edition is like nothing else you will ever experience. Keep a pen or pencil handy: you’ll want to emphasize passages and phrases you find especially wonderful or memorable. Audio versions are available and worthy, but you must read this masterpiece as a book of paper. Our minds process information seen or heard differently — try both if you wish. Trust me. This book may change your life. Review: Fantastic! - A perfect place to start! This original edition is very raw and wonderful! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #159,685 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in American Literature (Books) #30 in American Literature Criticism #34 in American Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,315 Reviews | ## Images ![Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (150th Anniversary Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MphU4t5cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original Edition of Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”.

This original edition is very raw and wonderful! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am very happy that inexpensive versions of Leaves of Grass are available ... *by C***Y on March 7, 2018* I am very happy that inexpensive versions of Leaves of Grass are available again. I have purchased eight different versions to compare. Many are very poorly put together - almost like scanned versions simply plopped into a word processor and uploaded to Amazon - and selling for $10 - $1. What I find most fascinating is this one - by Martino Fine Books (listed as Leaves of Grass ; {exact Facsimile of the 1855 Edition] - it is very fine, and is an exact facsimile. I love holding it and looking at it as close to the original 1855 edition as humanly possible. The only caveat is the cover - which features the older Walt, who had published six more versions by the time the cover photo was taken. No matter, the inside is what's important. Another one I bought that I recommend is from cholla needles press (listed as Leaves of Grass: 1855) - they use a facsimile of the original cover, and have made the choice to clean up the line breaks for readability purposes. The cholla edition is easy to sit down and read, the martino edition is beautiful to look at. The good news is I bought them both for less than $10 and find that reasonable enough to give them both to friends and relatives as gifts this year. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5954967-walt-whitmans-leaves-of-grass-150th-anniversary-edition](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5954967-walt-whitmans-leaves-of-grass-150th-anniversary-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-11-04*
