This book explores and discusses the work and life of Theodore O'Hara, an American poet likened to the famous writer of 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard', Thomas Gray. The main body of the work focuses on two of O'Hara's most celebrated and widely studied elegies, 'The Bivouac of the Dead' and 'Ode to Daniel Boone'. The author provides a thorough biography of O'Hara's life, covering his military career, his experience as an editor, and his diplomatic endeavors. This biographical information is interwoven with insightful analysis and observations regarding the development of O'Hara's poetic voice and style, particularly in relation to his experiences during and after the Mexican War.
