A Perfect Collection of the Work of a Fine American Poet,
By Rob Jacques "Technical Writer" (Puget Sound) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Poetry of John Greenleaf Whittier: A Readers' Edition (Paperback)
An excellent selection of Whittier's best-known poems with a brief, clarifying introduction to each one by Professor Jolliff. This edition correctly emphasizes the role Whittier's faith played in his writing and should be read by anyone interested in 19th Century American literature dealing with abolition, rural life, and religious beliefs. All of this poet's most popular works are here, including Snowbound, Ichabod!, Barbara Frietchie, The Barefoot Boy, The Last Walk in Autumn, The Old Burying Ground, Telling the Bees, Maud Muller, and In School Days. While literary historians might not place Whittier's work in the first tier of American poetry, most would agree that for generations to come, Whittier's masterpiece, Snowbound, will be found high up on any list of America's greatest poems. Professor Jolliff's "Readers' Edition" of this fine poet's work would be a very welcome addition to any home library.
