Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War by Herman Melville
"Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War" by Herman Melville is a poetry collection published in 1866. This volume contains seventy-two poems chronicling the battles, personalities, and aftermath of the American Civil War, from John Brown's execution to the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. The collection includes elegies and memorial verses, alongside a prose supplement where Melville advocates for reconciliation and thoughtful reconstruction. Initially met with mixed reviews and poor sales, the work has
since been recognized as a significant contribution to Civil War literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
