Walt Whitman was a well-known figure in American literature. He was a poet, essayist, and journalist. As a humanist, he contributed to the movement away from transcendentalism and towards realism, incorporating elements of both schools of thought into his writing. It is common practise to refer to Whitman as the "father" of free verse because he is one of the most influential poets in the American canon. His work was criticised at the time it was published, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was criticised for its overt sensuality and was considered offensive by some. Whitman's personal life came under scrutiny due to the widespread assumption that he was gay.
