The poetry and philosophy of Walt Whitman is a perfect example of the transition from the use of old literary conventions borrowed from Europe to an emerging, uniquely American style of writing. Whitman is a great bridge figure of 19th century American literature. He was a romantic, yet he paved the way for later modernists in his experiments with form and subject.
His poetic style was unique in its simplicity, avoiding the use of rhyme and meter, instead using parallelism, repetition, and the use of the phrase instead of the poetic foot as a unit of measure. This style would come to be known as free verse.
