- Title
Joyous Sacrifice: On the Scapegoat as Voluntary Victim in "Song of Myself" and "Howl".
- Authors
Hage, Stéphanie
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman, and "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg. It reveals the same underlying mechanism and brings together scattered elements studied separately; and mentions about the description of a voluntary self- sacrifice, symbolically committed by the poets themselves.
