Summary "The Southern War Poetry of the Civil War" by Esther Parker Ellinger is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive thesis that delves into the rich tapestry of poetry generated in the Confederate States during the Civil War, highlighting its emotional significance and cultural impact. Ellinger argues for the importance of these poetic expressions as vital reflections of the Southern experience and sentiment during a tumultuous period. At the start of the work, Ellinger expresses gratitude to those who contributed to her research and provides context for the poetry of the time, asserting that it served as a powerful medium for emotional expression that went beyond mere historical facts. The opening chapter emphasizes the significance of Southern war poetry as an articulate voice that conveyed the sentiments of a people engaged in a struggle for liberty and identity, countering the notion that such literary output was of lesser importance. It asserts that the poetry not only chronicled the events of the war but also captured the spirit, passion, and dedication of the Southern populace involved in the conflict.
