Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book of 8 poems is a collection from the distinguished father of William H Armstrong. The author, William J Grayson was a Southern gentleman who, like many men of his time, set a high moral standard and was an example of Christian manhood. He, along with James Louis Petigru and Judge King, were a collective force in Charleston, South Carolina, who courageously spoke out against the tragedy of the Civil War. Grayson, whose primary occupation was as a commissioner in equity at Beaufort, eloquently and prophetically warned of the results of war but when the state he so dearly loved plunged the nation into bloody strife, he, like Robert E Lee, cast his fortunes with the South. His poems, although primarily intended for private circulation, were widely read, particularly his most famous work, "The Hireling and the Slave". These poems are not only a reflection of the turmoil of the time, they also are brilliant examples of the literary skill exhibited by Grayson who, along with Pope and Dryden, is considered by many to be one of the finest exponents of rhythmical sweep and sustained melody in American verse. The author's intent was not to simply describe the surface differences between the lives of slaves and hired workers, but to delve deeply into themes that explore the nature of humanity and the human condition.
