The paper argues that Whitman&#8217;s &#8220;Song of Myself&#8221; breaks literary and political limits, challenging the sovereignty of the nation. By examining &#8220;Song of Myself&#8221; in the six different editions of Whitman&#8217;s Leaves of Grass, this paper will further analyze Whitman&#8217;s style and his speaker as representations of the limitations and sovereignty of literary tradition and the politics of his nation. By &#8220;politics,&#8221; I refer to the religious, political, and social doctrines that shape the nation. By &#8220;literary,&#8221; I mean the traditional literary style of writing, such as the poem&#8217;s form, scope, and subject.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Este artículo emprende un análisis textual de &#8220;Song of Myself&#8221; [&#8220;Canto a mí mismo&#8221;] de Walt Whitman, revelando su importancia como poema nacional. Se argumenta que este poema de Whitman rompe los límites literarios y políticos, desafiando la soberanía de la nación. Al examinar &#8220;Song of Myself&#8221; en las seis ediciones diferentes de Hojas de hierba de Whitman, se analizará en mayor profundidad el estilo de Whitman y su voz como representaciones de las limitaciones y la soberanía de la tradición literaria y la política de su nación. Por &#8220;política&#8221; me refiero a las doctrinas religiosas, políticas y sociales que dan forma a la nación. Por &#8220;literario&#8221; entiendo el estilo literario tradicional de escritura, como la forma, el alcance y el tema del poema.]]></p></abstract>
