war poet
A war poet is usually defined as a poet who participates in a war and writes about his experiences. While the term is applied especially to those who served during World War I,〔"war poet noun" ''The Oxford Dictionary of English'' (revised edition). Ed. Catherine Soanes and Angus Stevenson. Oxford University Press, 2005〕 it is documented as early as 1848, in reference to German revolutionary poet, Georg Herwegh.〔Herwegh, Georg, The Columbia Encyclopedia (2008)〕〔The Times, ''Southern Germany'', 29 September 1848〕 and is now applied to a poet writing about any war. However, Tennyson wrote probably one of the most famous war poems of the nineteenth century, and another non-combatant, Thomas Hardy, wrote major war poetry.
==American Civil War==
As the American Civil War was beginning, American poet Walt Whitman published his poem "Beat! Beat! Drums!" as a patriotic rally call for the North.〔Callow, 283〕 Whitman volunteered for a time as a nurse in the army hospitals,〔Callow, 293〕 and his collection ''Drum-Taps'' (1865) deals with his experiences during the War.
