Whittier: Bard of Freedom

By Whitman Bennett

Book Overview

Seemingly this great Quaker propagandist of freedom has been buried in the cloud of his late years; we have the poet but have lost the man. Bennett believes we can have both if we will forget the image of the white-bearded patriarch who wrote "Snow-Bound" and will turn to the young crusader who poured forth freedom verse and prose through three decades.

Originally published in 1941.
