- Résumé : "Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War" by Herman Melville is a collection of poems that reflect on the American Civil War, capturing the emotional and historical essence of the conflict. Published in 1866, the work is dedicated to the memory of the 300,000 soldiers who died for the Union. The poems were inspired by various events and battles, such as the fall of Richmond, the Battle of Shiloh, and the Siege of Donelson. Melville's verses explore the complexities of war, including themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the moral ambiguities faced by those involved. The collection is not arranged chronologically but rather thematically, allowing readers to experience the war's multifaceted nature. Melville's use of vivid imagery and emotional depth provides a poignant commentary on the human cost of war and the enduring impact of the Civil War on American society. The poems also reflect on the broader implications of the conflict, such as the struggle for justice and the reconciliation of a divided nation. Through his work, Melville offers a meditation on the nature of conflict and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
- 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.
