Walt Whitman's work is continuation of and a departure from the work of transcendentalist authors of USA.
Explanation:
Walt Whitman is the most well known and most widely read poet from the USA and has been an influential figure for the development of the modern poetry.
He very much developed his poetry style and subject matter from the work of transcendental authors before him which includes Emerson, Hawthorne and Longfellow, who had a peculiar way of life and wrote a form of poetry.
The poetry that Whitman wrote continued the tradition of hermit meditations of the poet but were markedly different in their use of free verse and more free diction as well as heavy symbolism.
I think politics would be the answer but I’m not sure maybe history
Imagery refers to the mental images and figures that writers create in the mind of their readers. By using specific vocabulary and literary techniques, writers can create certain images in readers' minds. Sensory imagery, therefore, refers to the use of specific words that connect the readers' senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing and taste) with the ideas developed in the writers' work in order to create a mood, idea or theme in their minds.
In this poem "To Cecilia" (written by Ben Jonson in 1616) we can appreciate some examples of these sensory imagery:
In this poem, the writer is contemplating and admiring the woman's beauty and, in the first paragraph, we can observe that the use of the word "eyes" in the first line make us think that the writer is looking at her, contemplating her beauty. In this case, he connects the readers' sight with such idea.
As another example of sensory imagery, in "Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine", the writer is trying to connect his/her feelings to kiss the woman with the taste of wine. The writer is trying to connect his/her desire to taste her kiss and he/she successes in connecting that idea with one of the readers' sense: taste.
The last example that can be identified in the poem is at the end. The writers talks about the rosy wreath that he/she has sent to his/her loved one and how she has sent it back to the writer. But the writer talks about its smell. By doing so, the writer tries to connect that smell of the rosy wreath with the readers' own sense, that is, the sense of smell.
