Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Joel Barlow, Vol. 1 of 2: Prose In the Harvard University Library there exists in manuscript a plan 'for the printing of the works of Joel Barlow. The manuscript IS in Barlow's hand, and spe cifies that the collection was to consist of two volumes. That plan was never executed, nor does it seem proper to follow it precisely now. Finally, however, Barlow is to be represented in a two-volume collection, one of prose, one of poetry. The present edition offers, in fact, a fuller selectlon of Barlow's writings than his own plan allowed for. This is especially true in regard to the poetry, for Barlow had not intended to include The Prospect of Peace, A Poem Spoken at Commencement, or The Vis ion of Columbus, all three of which contain ideas and motifs later incorporated into his imposing epic The Columbiad. (for a detailed collation of portions of all four poems, see Theodore A. Zunder, The Early Days of Joel Barlow, New Haven, 1934, pp. 57-58, 134, Likewise Barlow failed to mention his A Translation of Sundry Psalms Omitted in Dr. Watts's Version.

Joel Barlow's Columbiad
Author: Steven BlakemorePublisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 9781572335639
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Steven Blakemore offers a close reading of The Columbiad within the context of contemporary national debates over the significance of America. In doing so, he helps the reader understand the variety of national discourses that Barlow was promoting, challenging, or subverting. Long neglected, The Columbiad fundamentally engages the core issues and strategies of national self-definition and the creation of a vital republican culture. This book will appeal to all those interested in early American literature, the literature of the early Republic, and American literary nationalism.
