Book Overview
This fifth volume of "Writings" presents a comprehensive collection of works by John Greenleaf Whittier and Elizabeth Hussey Whittier. John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was a prominent American Quaker poet and advocate for the abolition of slavery. Elizabeth Hussey Whittier, his sister, shared his reformist zeal and literary talent. This compilation offers readers a deep dive into their literary contributions and personal correspondence.
Explore Whittier's poetry, known for its strong moral themes and regional settings, and gain insights into his social activism. The inclusion of Elizabeth Hussey Whittier's writings provides a unique perspective on the Whittier family's intellectual and spiritual life. Together, their writings offer a valuable window into 19th-century American literature, social reform movements, and Quaker thought.
