Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'The Poems of Philip Freneau' is a comprehensive collection that encapsulates the literary contributions of Philip Freneau, often hailed as the 'Poet of the American Revolution.' This volume, the third in a series, is edited by Fred Lewis Pattee and was released by the Princeton Historical Association. The collection is a testament to Freneau's role in shaping American literature during a transformative period in the nation's history. The poems reflect a wide array of themes, including the American Revolution, the natural beauty of the American landscape, and the socio-political issues of the time. Freneau's work is characterized by its vivid imagery, emotional depth, and a keen sense of patriotism. The collection includes poems of change such as 'Neversink,' which captures the majestic beauty of the American coast, and 'The Rising Empire,' which offers a philosophical reflection on America's potential and destiny. Freneau's poetry is not only a reflection of his personal experiences and observations but also serves as a historical document that provides insight into the cultural and political climate of 18th-century America. His work is marked by a seamless blend of romanticism and realism, capturing both the idealism of the American Revolution and the harsh realities of the time. This volume is an essential read for those interested in American literature, history, and the evolution of national identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 176 pp. Englisch.
