This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, The Pennsylvania State University - Worthington Scranton, course: The American Literary Experience, language: English, abstract: Philip Freneau was an American poet whose works anticipated the American Romantic movement. This paper examines the influence of Enlightenment philosophy upon Philip Freneau's poetry, specifically in his poems "To Sir Toby" and "The Wild Honeysuckle." The poetry of Philip Freneau provides a compelling snapshot into 18th century American thought. In poems such as "To Sir Toby," and "The Wild Honeysuckle," the influence of Enlightenment philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau is clearly recognizable, particularly through the manner in which the subject of nature is treated. Freneau's poetry depicts a nation caught between Hobbes's cynical view of nature and Rousseau's strident romanticism of nature. Here, "To Sir Toby" and "The Wild Honeysuckle" are analyzed to reveal the turn of mind which led Freneau to anticipate many aspects of American Romanticism during the Post-Revolutionary Era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English and Linguistics), course: The Rhyme and Reason of American Poetry, 20 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Philip Freneau was one of the most discussed poets of the late eighteenth century. On one hand he was celebrated as the "Poet of the American Revolution" (Eberwein 191) or the "Father of American Poetry" (Stauffer 52), a journalist of influence, a patriot and skilful writer, on the other hand he was forgotten for a long time. How did Philip Freneau see himself? What were his targets and how did he try to reach them? This paper examines Freneau's look on his role as an author on his poetry and plans. What kind of influences affected or promoted his career? Regarding his own poems "To an Author", "The City Poet" and "To a New England Poet" his description of an author's life - and therefore his life - will become apparent. Furthermore, a closer look on his contemporaries, the Connecticut Wits, especially Dwight, Barlow and Bryant will display how independent and original Freneau's writing was, and what kind of relationships he had towards these American authors. At the same time his relationship towards British poets is interesting: He thought he rejected most of their writing; but was he really not influenced by them at all? Could it be that he sometimes even copied parts of their work? After having a short look on other intertextual influences like Greek mythology, verses from the Bible and Classic forms, this paper will look back on his life in a retrospective way and analyse his attitude towards himself. Did Freneau manage to reach his goals or did he lose sight of them?

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2.0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English), course: Literature: From Colony to Early Republic, 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Philip Morin Freneau was one of America's most important writers. Especially in the period of the American Revolution he became famous as a teacher, secretary, seaman, master of a merchant ship, clerk at a post office, as a satirist, journalist, poet, editor of "Freeman's Journal" and the "National Gazette" and as a translator for Thomas Jefferson. Two themes that influenced his writings were his interest in nature and the relationship between men and nature as well as the American Revolution. The question which this paper shall discuss is whether his two poems "The Wild Honey Suckle" and "To a New England Poet" are characteristic for his writings and whether they have anything in common, although they seem very different at first sight: The interest in nature becomes obvious, regarding the first poem. The attitude towards the English and his countrymen is expressed in the second one. In this paper I will at first analyze the two poems. I will summarize their content, as well as take a look at their structural and formal peculiarities. Then I will pay attention to the imagery and the stylistic devices that are used to transmit a certain atmosphere. Moreover, I will outline how the flower in "The Wild Honey Suckle" is described. In a manner analogous to that I am also going to focus on the description of America and England in "To a New England Poet." Finally, I will try to answer the question whether the two poems are representative for other poems of Philip Freneau and whether Freneau can be called the "Poet of the American Revolution," since he mainly concentrated on that topic, or whether this is not enough to show the variety of themes he dealt with. Fortunately, there are interesting works written
Download or read book Philip Freneau written by Mary Weatherspoon Bowden and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1976 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the period between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Philip Morin Freneau is one of the most important literary figures. He holds this position not just because he was a prolific writer but because he experimented with many different styles and forms. In the body of his works one can find poems which illustrate well the neoclassic school and those which classically illustrate the pre-Romantic fancy. He is, therefore, important as a transitional poet. His poems about the sea, the Indian, and the mutability of life are intrinsically good -- as are his poems mocking these genres. His occasional poems are justly celebrated for their satire and realism, and they illustrate that genre well. In considering his value as a litterateur, we must also remember Freneau's prose; for he tried his hand at the philosophic essay as well as the satiric diatribe. But a study of Frenau should go beyond evaluating his works. Frenau is important precisely because he is, in many ways, a man representative of his time; and the time he lived in is historically important. - Preface.

Download or read book Philip Freneau written by Jacob Axelrad and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Freneau was a poet, editor, and mariner. A graduate of Princeton, he was the roommate of James Madison and a classmate of Hugh Henry Brackenridge and Aaron Burr. When the colonies rebelled against England, he supported his newly born nation as a privateer, spending some time in a British prison as a result. He also served, more effectively, as “the poet of the Revolution.” Later he became the journalistic voice of the democrats. Ardently devoted to liberty, he believed himself to be a defender of the common man, for whom he fought selflessly and often vitriolicly throughout his life. In newspapers such as The Freeman’s Journal, The New York Daily Advertiser, The National Gazette, The Jersey Chronicle, and The Time-Piece, he published articles, letters, and poems, instructing the citizens of the new Republic about their rights, and attacking those who, he believed, were infringing on those rights. In the midst of the controversy in which he was so often involved, he also found time to write a small body of poetry whose sensitivity and beauty mark him as the poetic equal of his European contemporaries, and, in fact, as a precursor of the new Romantic movement In Philip Freneau: Champion of Democracy Jacob Axelrad provides a detailed biography of this pensman of the Revolution and early Republic. He gives a sympathetic, imaginative, perceptive, yet objective interpretation of Freneau and his place in history, and at the same time he presents a delightfully readable and clear picture of the period during which the poet lived. These pages not only re-create the battles between Whig and Tory, federalist and democrat, but they also are alive with the activities and philosophies of the men who made American history. James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Adams, James Monroe go about the business of creating and shaping a new country, and as they do, they move into and out of the life of the poet of Monmouth, influencing him in a variety of ways. Above all, Axelrad brings to life for the reader the man Freneau: simple, direct, often uncritical in his devotion to the cause he believed in; courageous in sustaining his stand against strong opposition; disillusioned and pessimistic about human nature, yet boldly optimistic about the future of humanity and of his country. And always behind the furor the reader is aware of the man struggling to provide a living for himself and his family, and never quite succeeding.
