War Poetry Of The South is a collection of poems written by various Southern poets during the American Civil War. The book includes works from well-known poets such as Sidney Lanier, Henry Timrod, and Paul Hamilton Hayne, as well as lesser-known poets. The poems cover a range of themes, including the soldiers' experiences on the battlefield, the loss of loved ones, and the struggle for independence. The book provides a unique perspective on the Civil War, giving readers a glimpse into the emotions and experiences of those who lived through it. The poetry is written in a variety of styles, from traditional sonnets to free verse, and offers a diverse range of voices and perspectives. Overall, War Poetry Of The South is a powerful and poignant collection of poetry that captures the spirit of the American Civil War.From Preface: Though sectional in its character, and indicative of a temper and a feeling which were in conflict with nationality, yet, now that the States of the Union have been resolved into one nation, this collection is essentially as much the property of the whole as are the captured cannon which were employed against it during the progress of the late war. It belongs to the national literature, and will hereafter be regarded as constituting a proper part of it, just as legitimately to be recognized by the nation as are the rival ballads of the cavaliers and roundheads, by the English, in the great civil conflict of their country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
