Summary "Complete Poetical Works" by Bret Harte is a collection of poems written in the late 19th century, reflecting life and experiences in California, particularly during the pivotal times of the Gold Rush and the American Civil War. Harte's work captures the spirit, characters, and landscapes of the western frontier, presenting themes of bravery, morality, and the complexity of human relationships in a rapidly changing society. The opening of this collection introduces the context of Harte's life, weaving in his experiences as a miner, teacher, and journalist in California. Through a biographical sketch, readers learn that Harte played a significant role in establishing Californian literature, embodying its vibrancy and diversity in his poetry. The initial poems touch on various topics, including tales of heroism during the Civil War, the poignant beauty of nature, and the human struggles intertwined with the historical backdrop of the American West. The narrative establishes a strong sense of place and time, enticing readers to explore the full depths of Harte's poetic legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
