In This Groundbreaking Work Of Cultural History, Alice Fahs Explores A Little-known And Fascinating Side Of The Civil War--the Outpouring Of Popular Literature Inspired By The Conflict. From 1861 To 1865, Authors And Publishers In Both The North And The South Produced A Remarkable Variety Of War-related Compositikns, Including Poems, Songs, Children's Stories, Romances, Novels, Histories, And Likewise Humoros Pieces.

Works That Explored The War's Devastating Impact On Whitw Women's Lives, For Example, Proclaimed The Importance Of Their Experiences On The Home Front, While Popular Writings That Celebrated Black Manhood And Heroism In The Wake Of Emancipation Helped Readers Begin To Envision New Roles For Blacks In American Life.
