Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Spirit of the American Revolution: As Revealed in the Poetry of the Period, a Study of American Patriotic Verse From 1760 to 1783 The present study seeks to show forth the spirit that moved men during the struggle for American independence as that spirit is revealed in the verse of the period from 1760 when George III acceded to the throne of England to 1783 when peace ensued. It has been thought wise to quote rather liberally not only from the best work that was produced but from work of little or no literary merit and worthy of consideration and remembrance on no other account than the purpose in hand. The vast mass of the poetic output is thus made to speak for itself as a whole through selections widely varying in quality and worth. At the same time it serves to illustrate the prose narrative of the conflict, written for the most part on broad general lines and necessary for the better understanding of the verse. Some works have seemed to merit rather full quotation by reason either of their intrinsic literary worth or of their importance in connection with the event that inspired their composition or of the fact that omission of any part would impair their substance or their effect. Loyalist poetry has not been overlooked but has been made to lend an edge to the conflict of opinion. No one familiar with the literature of the period treated will fail to note the obligations another laborer must always be under who enters the old vineyard. The bibliographers whose works are cited have been especially helpful as guides to the original sources. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
