Abstract: 

This essay looks at "poems, parodies, homages, reviews, and essays concerning Whitman that were either first published or reprinted in the Saturday Press," arguing that Henry Clapp used these pieces not only to publicize Whitman's poetry, but to depict him as "a factional poet of the North."
