Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
In Walt Whitman’s 1871 Passage to India, the poet claims to celebrate the related themes of scientific and technological attainment and spiritual change, the former physical “passages” making possible the latter “passage to primal thought”- the “Passage to more than India!” Whitman represents America’s greatest challenge: spiritual transformation.
