Description
Excerpt from John Greenleaf Whittier: A Sketch of His Life; With Selected Poems
The occasion for this little volume is the celebration of the centenary of Whittier's birth. The sketch of his life aims to present the chief formative influences which affected his career and determined the character of his poetry. The poems have been chosen with the intention of illustrating, first, the circumstances of Whittier's boyhood and the themes to which his poetic imagination naturally turned, then the political and social struggle which engrossed so many of his years, and finally that mood of devout resting and waiting in which his long life closed.
