Battle Lines

Poetry and Mass Media in the U.S. Civil War

• Gebundenes Buch

In Battle Lines, Eliza Richards charts the transformation of Civil War poetry, arguing that it was fueled by a symbiotic relationship between mass media networks and modern warfare and that the unprecedented scope of the war generated a collectivity among readers and writers that altered the terms of poetic expression.
