John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) (This set printed in the year of his death) invested as much passion in his anti slavery campaigning as he did in his poetry. In Day's words, Whittier won his place in New England literary circles by his genuine poetic talent and his felicity in detailing the homey aspects of New England life. Along with Thoreau, he favored life in the country, and celebrated his rural environment in much of his poetry. For an America ravaged by civil war and, especially in New England, changing from an agricultural to an industrial society, his classic long poem Snowbound (1866) is the definitive picture of a lost world. 1916 O.
