Columbus
'Columbus' Summary
Joaquin Miller's "Columbus" is a long, epic poem exploring the life and legacy of Christopher Columbus. The poem offers a poetic perspective on Columbus's voyages, his motivations, and the impact of his discoveries on the world. Miller uses dramatic language and imagery to paint a vivid picture of the historical events and the complex figure of Columbus himself. While the poem celebrates the spirit of exploration and adventure, it also acknowledges the controversial aspects of Columbus's actions and the consequences of European colonization in the Americas.Book Details
