About This Book

A doctoral study surveys and analyzes verse composed in the Confederate states during the American Civil War, arguing that such poetry functioned as the emotional literature of its people and exerted significant cultural influence. It traces the historical development and varieties of wartime verse, assesses quality and circulation, and examines reasons for its later marginalization and limited postwar circulation. The work gathers and catalogs poems from newspapers, broadsides, and collections, supplies bibliographies and anthology listings, offers critical commentary on recurring themes and modes, and includes an index to facilitate further research.
