Kenneth Price, Hillegass University Professor of American Literature, leads efforts to edit and make freely available key late-life writings of Walt Whitman, including “November Boughs,” a collection of poems and essays; “Good-Bye My Fancy!”, a poem reflecting on aging and death; and their associated manuscripts. Price’s team is making these works and other manuscripts available on The Walt Whitman Archive, a collection published by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, which Price co-directs. The team’s aim is to advance Whitman studies, literary scholarship more broadly, textual studies, and age and disability studies.
