Beschreibung
The Works of John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of poetry and prose by the American poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Volume 1 includes some of his most famous works, such as "The Husking" and "In The Shadow," as well as lesser-known poems and essays. Whittier was a prominent figure in American literature in the mid-19th century, known for his abolitionist and humanitarian views. His poetry often dealt with themes of social justice, nature, and the struggles of the working class. In "Snow-Bound," Whittier depicts a New England family's experience of being snowed in during a blizzard, capturing the beauty and hardship of rural life in the winter. "Maud Muller," a romantic ballad, tells the story of a young woman who falls in love with a wealthy judge but ultimately chooses to remain true to her humble roots. Other poems in the collection touch on themes such as the abolition of slavery, the plight of Native Americans, and the struggles of workers in the Industrial Revolution. Whittier's essays explore topics such as history, politics, and religion, often with a focus on the moral and ethical dimensions of these issues. Overall, The Works of John Greenleaf Whittier Vol. 1 showcases the breadth and depth of Whittier's writing, demonstrating his mastery of both poetry and prose and his commitment to social justice and human rights.
