Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, 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, comment: Diese Arbeit behandelt Philip Freneau und sein Verhältnis zu anderen amerikanischen und britischen Dichtern wie Dwight, die Conneticut Wits, Barlow, Bryant, Bradstreet, Irving, Swift, Shakespeare, zur Bibel und der Antike. Weiterhin untersuche ich darin die Gedichte "To an Author", "Advice to Authors", "To a New England Poet" und "The Wild Honeysuckle" auf Freneaus Selbstverständnis als Autor und Politiker. , 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 retrospective on his life and his attitude towards himself. Did Freneau manage to reach his goals or did he lose sight of it?Like Dwight he composed a Biblical epic, like the Connecticut Wits he could not find an own style, a free verse, an American poetry, like Bradstreet he used common images and topics.Somewhere in between the Father of American Poetry (Stauffer 52), the Poet of the American Revolution (Eberwein 191) or the Rascal (Leary 1975), who failed in almost everything he attempted (Leary 1975 ix), Philip Freneau is to be found. Freneau wrote some of the finest, most timeless poems in American literature. He accomplished less than he had hoped but more than he ever realized (Eberwein 199). Unfortunately, he was never satisfied with himself.
