* "When the volcano of Civil War erupted in 1861, American literature
had already achieved maturity in the writings of Emerson, Melville,
Whitman, Hawthorne, and others. All of them, plus new voices like
Emily Dickinson, tried to understand and express the profound meaning
of the war in their writings, which Randll Fuller skillfully dissects
in this original and incisive volume."--James M. McPherson, author of
Battle Cry of Freedom
* "This is a beautiful, powerful book, uniting the pivotal event of
American history with the defining literature of the nation. Fuller's
account is filled with humanity, eloquence, and surprise. Anyone who
reads this book will see both the Civil War and America's iconic
authors with new eyes."--Edward Ayers, author of In The Presence of
Mine Enemies
