The Metamorphosis of Whitman’s Poetry in Wartime: From Experimentalism to Realism
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Without doubt, the Civil War era marked a sea change in American literature precisely the way the American writers apprehend the role of the poetry, both in the North and South. Many poems of the wartime aimed at figuring out what happened to the Civil War and what happened to American literature. All these poems appear as a chastening, a sense that maybe focus more upon the day-to-day lives of actual living human beings. If the American literature that Emerson had summoned helped galvanize opinion that led to the Civil War, the Civil War in turn changed what that literature would be, and moreover the poems by Whitman who literally became the invigorator and reconciler of the American republic he had wanted to become through his poems that show how to mourn and how to gauge the effects that the war was having on Americans, and also how it came to American poetry which can convey and perhaps alleviates the psychological and physical suffering war entails.
