520 _a"The Columbiad: A Poem" by Joel Barlow is an epic poem published in 1807. This ambitious work reimagines Barlow's earlier poem about Columbus into a sweeping vision of American and world history. The poem traces humanity's progress toward rational liberty and democracy, culminating in a utopian world council. Once compared to Homer and Milton, it sparked controversy for its secular worldview and political idealism, achieving initial popularity before fading into obscurity as tastes changed.
