Philip Frenau (1752 - 1832)
Was an American poet, nationalist, polemicist, naval captain, and newspaper editor, sometimes called the "Poet of the American Revolution."
Through his newspaper, the National Gazette, he was a great critic of George Washington and an advocate of Jeffersonian policies.
Among the most far-reaching works is
"The House of Night"
, whose theme is the death of Death.
Freneau seized the opportunity to use the imagery and emotion present within the newly emerging Romantic genre to speak to the citizens of the thirteen colonies about his thoughts on the revolution.
The poem became an emotional call-to-arms; propaganda bent on urging on the colonies in their resistance to the King of Great Britain.
