- Résumé : "Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War" by Herman Melville is a profound collection of poetry that captures the raw emotions, stark realities, and moral complexities of the American Civil War. Through vivid imagery and poignant verse, Melville explores the human cost of war, the heroism and sacrifice of soldiers, and the broader implications of conflict on society. Each poem in the collection offers a unique perspective on the war, from the brutality of the battlefield to the quiet moments of reflection and remembrance. With its evocative language and powerful themes, "Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War" serves as a haunting tribute to the men and women who fought and died during one of the darkest chapters in American history. Melville's keen insight into the human condition and his unwavering commitment to truth and justice ensure that the poems resonate with readers long after the last page is turned, serving as a timeless reminder of the enduring legacy of war and its impact on the human soul.
- Biographie : Herman Melville was born in New York City on August 1, 1819, to Allan Melvill (1782-1832) and Maria (Gansevoort) Melvill (1791-1872). Herman was the third of eight children in a family of Scottish and Dutch descent. His siblings, who played important roles in his career as well as in his emotional life, were Gansevoort (1815-1846); Helen Maria (1817-1888); Augusta (1821-1876); Allan (1823-1872); Catherine (1825-1905); Frances Priscilla (1827-1885); and Thomas (1830-1884), who eventually became a governor of Sailors' Snug Harbor. Part of a well-established and colorful Boston family, Allan Melvill spent much time out of New York and in Europe as a commission merchant and an importer of French dry goods.
