✍️'Divine Style: #WaltWhitman and the King James Bible' by F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp is OUT NOW!

In exploring the seminal works of #WaltWhitman, the great #American poet, many commentators have acknowledged the underlying influence of The #KingJamesBible. However, a study has yet to elucidate the precise manner in which the #Bible has shaped #Whitman’s poetic style.

This is the deficit that the author seeks to address in his new piece of literary scholarship. Dobbs-Allsopp, Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, explicitly approaches #Whitman from the perspective of a #biblical scholar.

Utilising his wealth of expertise in this field, he constructs a compelling argument for the King James Bible’s importance in the evolution of #Whitman’s style – from his signature long lines to the prevalence of #parallelism and tendency towards #parataxis in his works.
