Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of John Greenleaf Whittier The Poet of New-England (so called by the historian Parkman), the Prophet-bard of America, the Quaker Poet - these titles fairly and truly mark the literary status of John Greenleaf Whittier. Add to them his own sincere and characteristic avowal, "I set a higher value on my name as appended to the Anti-Slavery Declaration of 1833 than on the title-page of any book," and we have fair sight not only of the poet, but of the man. The Poet of New England: - "His genius drew its nourishment from her soil; his pages are the mirror of her outward nature and the strong utterance of her inward life." These were Parkman´s words at a gathering in honour of Whittier. "The gloss of the sentiment," writes Stedman, in his "Poets of America" (1885), "belonged to the occasion; its analysis is specifically correct, and this with full recognition of Whittier´s most famous kinsmen in birth and song.
