"The Poems of Philip Freneau, Poet of the American Revolution. Volume 2 (of 3)" is a collection of poetry compiled by Fred Lewis Pattee, likely edited in the early 20th century. The volume features works from Philip Freneau, an influential poet of the American Revolution, capturing the sentiments, struggles, and the broader social commentary of his time through lyrical and satirical poetry. The poems reflect the tensions of revolutionary America, often focusing on themes of war, politics, and the human condition against the backdrop of that era. The opening of this volume introduces readers to a selection of poems, beginning with "George the Third's Soliloquy," where King George III expresses torment and despair over the American rebellion and foreshadows his eventual downfall. Following this, "Sir Harry's Invitation" satirizes Loyalist sentiments and the burden of fighting for the British crown. The "Dialogue between His Britannic Majesty and Mr. Fox" features a dramatic exchange highlighting royal anxieties regarding the loss of American colonies. Together, these pieces set the tone for a collection rich in historical context, showcasing Freneau's talent for marrying poetic form with pointed political critique during a pivotal moment in American history.
