Poetry Wars

Verse and Politics in the American Revolution and Early Republic

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The pen was as mighty as the musket during the American Revolution, as poets waged literary war against politicians, journalists, and each other. Drawing on hundreds of poems, Poetry Wars reconstructs the important public role of poetry in the early republic and examines the reciprocal relationship between political conflict and verse.
