Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Biglow Papers The genius Of James Russell Lowell places him in the front rank of American poets. He is one of the few who are read and appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic. He made his mark in his earliest published volume, when he was but twenty-two years of age. From that time to the end of a long career he grew steadily in fame. nor did his power wane, while his literary form showed an increasing perfection of polish. He was born in Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 22, 1819. His father was the Rev. Charles Lowell, D. D., minister of the West Church (Unitarian) of Boston, a scholar of high standing and author of several devotional books. He was descended from Percival Lowell, who came from England in 1639 and settled in Newbury, Mass. The subject of this sketch showed throughout life a fine example of the Puritan conscience, joined with a rare tenderness of nature and winsomeness of character. While he never lacked the moral courage which dared to stand "in the right with two or three," his nature and method were gentle and persuasive rather than severe or antagonizing. He was more than a poet. He was symmetrically developed as a man of letters. To his admirers he was the ideal man of letters.
