Excerpt from Paul Hamilton Hayne This study is the first book-length treatment of Paul Hamilton Hayne's poetry. There are, of course, theses and dissertations on various aspects of Hayne's life and work, and Kate H. Becker's Paul Hamilton H ayne: Life and Letters (1951) offers a summary compiled from already published materials. Far more valuable are the collections of letters and correspondence edited by D. M. Mckeithan and Charles Duffy and the discussions of Hayne as critic and man of letters by Jay B. Hubbell and Edd W. Parks. Hayne's poetry, however, has hitherto never been fully considered. After sketching his life and literary career, I have therefore concentrated on Hayne as poet by considering his collections in turn (including one put together after his death btis wife and son) and by discussing the more important poems in each. Since few of these pieces have been treated in any detail by twentieth century critics, I have examined all the major collections of -hayne papers (particularly those in the chief repository at Per kins Library, Duke University) and have tried to present certain basic facts regarding the composition, publication, and the then contemporary criticism of both individual poems and collections. Moreover, I have drawn comparisons and traced developments in Hayne's ideas and techniques. I have, wherever possible, let his poems speak for themselves because they are not well known, nor are they available in paperback editions or readily accessible in many libraries. There is not, however, sufficient space to sub ject individual poems to full-scale critical analysis, but within the contextual limits of this approach, I have been critical withal.

The American nineteenth century witnessed a media explosion unprecedented in human history. New communications technologies seemed to be everywhere, offering opportunities and threats that seem powerfully familiar to us as we experience today’s digital revolution. Walt Whitman’s poetry reveled in the potentials of his time: “See, the many-cylinder’d steam printing-press,” he wrote, “See, the electric telegraph, stretching across the Continent, from the Western Sea to Manhattan.” Still, as the budding poet learned, books neither sell themselves nor move themselves: without an efficient set of connections to get books to readers, the democratic media-saturated future Whitman imagined would have remained warehoused. Whitman’s works sometimes ran through the “many-cylinder’d steam printing press” and were carried in bulk on “the strong and quick locomotive.” Yet during his career, his publications did not follow a progressive path toward mass production and distribution. Even at the end of his life, in the 1890s as his fame was growing, the poet was selling copies of his latest works by hand to visitors at his small house in Camden, New Jersey. Mass media and centralization were only one part of the rich media world that Whitman embraced. Whitman’s Drift asks how the many options for distributing books and newspapers shaped the way writers wrote and readers read. Writers like Whitman spoke to the imagination inspired by media transformations by calling attention to connectedness, to how literature not only moves us emotionally, but moves around in the world among people and places. Studying that literature and how it circulated can help us understand not just how to read Whitman’s works and times, but how to understand what is happening to our imaginations now, in the midst of the twenty-first century media explosion.
