Summary "The Poems of Philip Freneau, Poet of the American Revolution. Volume 3 (of 3)" is a collection of poetry edited by Fred Lewis Pattee, written in the early 20th century. This volume stands as a tribute to Philip Freneau, who was a pivotal poetic voice during the American Revolution, capturing themes of patriotism, nature, and societal reflection. The poems explore a range of subjects from personal experience to broader commentary on political and social issues of the time. The opening of this volume introduces Freneau's background, noting his role as an editor for several publications, which positioned him at the heart of early American literary culture. The first poem, “Neversink,” reflects on the poet's love for nature and his deep connection to the landscape, while simultaneously engaging with themes of reflection and nostalgia for past experiences. The following pieces continue to establish a sense of place and identity, commenting on American society, the natural environment, and historical events, as well as displaying Freneau's distinctive style and wit. This introduction offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Freneau's work, inviting readers to appreciate his contributions to American poetry and the revolutionary spirit of his time.
