{"product_id":"the-eloquent-war-donna-bodden-9781881089315","title":"The Eloquent War: Personal and Public Writings from the Civil War","description":"The Civil War confronted all Americans with the weightiest moral and political issues since the American Revolution. In diaries and journals they argued and agonized with themselves; in sermons and speeches, in poems and love letters, they revealed to one another their own interior war. As they sought with words to hold their experiences steady for a moment, they sometimes achieved the eloquence that may evoke extraordinary times.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The 59 selections in this volume, written between 1860 and 1865, include such well-known writers as Frederick Douglass, Lincoln, Melville, and Whitman, as well as the lesser-known, whose experience of war is immediate, unfiltered by memory. It is a picture of America, a literature that crosses all social borders, an integrated portrait of the Civil War as a national experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna Bodden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1881089312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781881089315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Donna Bodden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45477150916863,"sku":"9781881089315","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_137fb161-ea0d-4354-a02e-a713dd4388b5.jpg?v=1715919194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eloquent-war-donna-bodden-9781881089315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
