The first section covers the colonial period from 1607 to 1775, featuring works by early Southern writers such as William Byrd and Anne Bradstreet. The second section covers the Revolutionary period from 1775 to 1815, including works by Thomas Jefferson, Phillis Wheatley, and others.The third section covers the antebellum period from 1815 to 1861, showcasing the works of Southern writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Walt Whitman. The fourth section covers the Civil War and Reconstruction period from 1861 to 1877, featuring works by Sidney Lanier, Paul Hamilton Hayne, and Henry Timrod. The final section covers the post-Reconstruction period from 1877 to 1907, including works by Emily Dickinson, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and others.Overall, Three Centuries of Southern Poetry, 1607-1907 is a must-read for anyone interested in Southern literature and poetry.
