War Sonnets

By Benjamin Collins Woodbury

Book Overview

War Sonnets is a collection of 50 sonnets written by Benjamin Collins Woodbury. The poems were written during the American Civil War and reflect the author's experiences as a soldier. The sonnets are divided into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of war: the soldier's experience, the horrors of battle, and the aftermath of war. The poems are written in the traditional Shakespearean sonnet form, with fourteen lines and a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. The language is poetic and evocative, with vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and emotions of war. The collection is a poignant and powerful reflection on the human cost of war and the enduring impact it has on those who experience it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
