Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Poems of Philip Freneau, Poet of the American Revolution. Volume 1 (of 3)" edited by Fred Lewis Pattee is a historical collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This edition revives the works of Philip Freneau, a prominent poet from the American Revolutionary period, whose contributions were largely overshadowed and neglected over time. The collection not only showcases his artistic endeavors but also serves as a commentary on the sociopolitical climate of his time, reflecting themes of liberty, patriotism, and the struggles of nation-building. The opening of this volume sets a context for Freneau's significance, detailing his historical obscurity and the partisan biases that led to his work being undervalued. The preface explains the editor's efforts to compile and annotate Freneau's early poetry which is significant not only as art but as a reflection of pivotal moments from the American Revolution. It highlights the rarity of his original works and the need for a careful study of his contributions alongside a rich biographical background that illustrates his interactions with prominent figures of the time. This initial section establishes a framework for understanding not only the poems themselves but the broader historical narrative in which Freneau's writings exist.
