520			_a"War Poetry of the South" by William Gilmore Simms is a collection of poetry compiled in the post-Civil War era, likely in the late 19th century. This anthology reflects the sentiments, emotions, and ideologies of the Southern experience during the war, featuring contributions from various poets that express themes of patriotism, loss, and resilience amid the turmoil of conflict. The collection serves both as a historical document and an artistic exploration of the South's cultural identity in the aftermath of a devastating war. The opening portion of the anthology sets the stage for the work by presenting a dedication to the women of the South, acknowledging their strength and virtue despite the loss of their cause. The preface outlines the editor's intent to capture the emotional landscape of the South through poetry, suggesting that this literature provides insight into not just the events of the war, but the motivations and feelings that drove the Southern people. This section emphasizes the passion and struggle depicted in the poems, hinting at themes of defiance against oppression, a deep sense of honor, and a fervent appeal to Southern identity as the anthology unfolds.
