America’s Civil War: March 2001 From the EditorArchives | 0 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post Winthrop’s literary merit has often been debated. Critics have found his work overly elaborate and sentimental, and it is undeniable that he died before he was able to fully develop his literary gifts. But he remains the only well-known (if posthumously) writer to have died in the Civil War. As one contemporary noted perceptively: “Theodore Winthrop died in the bud of his promise. When men such as Winthrop die such a death as his, we seize the tools that fall from their dying grasp and complete the fragmentary structure. We attribute to them, not simply what they did, but all that they might have done.” Roy Morris, Jr., Editor, America’s Civil War Subscribe Today
