Battle-Pieces And Aspects of the War
A collection of seventy-two Civil War poems by Herman Melville, an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet of the 19th century. Melville dedicated this work to the soldiers who fought in defence of the United States. Based on firsthand experience, the book not only glorifies battle, but depicts the horrors and the waste brought by war. “Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War” appears to be a sorrowful and inconsolable meditation on the Civil War.
