Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Term's Work on Whittier A late magazine writer has spoken of the new and good fashion of teaching the poems of our best writers to children in school. This outline was arranged to save this new and good fashion from becoming either haphazard or machine work. Most children are delighted to learn something of a noted author, for children are naturally addicted to hero-worship. Teach them to find the thought and motive which makes the hero. Every child should be supplied with a good blank book and if possible the small pictures of Whittier and his home which may be obtained from the publisher of this book for a trifle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Greenleaf Whittier: His Life and Work To my American friends I feel a word of apology is due for my writing of Whittier without having visited their great Continent. This has not been possible owing to pressure of work, and I must ask them to allow my love for their poet, and for the American people, to overshadow the blemishes that I fear they may discover. I have endeavoured to portray what manner of man Whittier was; his poetic genius, the way in which he met difficulties, financial and otherwise, the sacrifice he made for those whom he loved, the abandon ment of all ambition for the cause of freedom, and the genuine humility and sense of humour which sweetened all his years. As a Quaker, he believed in the Divine Immanence. He believed that God's voice can be heard in all hearts who will be obedient, and his obedience produced his life.

Download or read book American Prose written by Horace Elisha Scudder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Prose: Hawthorne; Irving; Longfellow Whittier; Holmes; Lowell; Thoreau; Emerson There was one class of subjects which had a peculiar in terest for Hawthorne, and in a measure afiected his work. He had a strong taste for New England history, and he found in the scenes and characters of that history favorable material for the representation of spiritual conflict. He was himself the most New English of New Englanders, and held an extraordinary sympathy with the very soil of his section of the country. By this sympathy, rather than by any painful research, he was singularly acquainted with the historic life of New England. His stories, based directly on historic facts, are true to the spirit of the times in some thing more than an archaeological way. One is astonished at the ease with which he seized upon characteristic fea tures, and reproduced them in a word or phrase. Merely careful and diligent research would never be adequate to give the life-likeness of the images in Howe's Masquerade. There is, then, a second fact discovered by a study of Hawthorne, that while one finds in the N ate-books, for ex ample, the material out of which stories and sketches seem to have been constructed, and while the facts of New Eng land history have been used without exaggeration or distor tion, the result in stories and romances is something far be yond a mere report of what has been seen and read. The charm of a vivifying imagination is the crowning charm Of Hawthorne's stories, and its medium is a graceful and often exquisitely apt diction. Hawthorne's sense of touch as a writer is very fine. He knows when to be light, and when to press heavily; a very conspicuous quality is what one is likely to term quaintness, - a gentle pleasantry which seems to spring from the author's attitude toward his own Work, as if he looked upon that, too, as a part of the spirit ual universe which he was surveying.

Download or read book John Greenleaf Whittier Selected Poems written by John Greenleaf Whittier and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2004-03-30 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved figure in his own era——a household name for such poems as “Barbara Frietchie” and “The Barefoot Boy”—John Greenleaf Whittier remains an emotionally honest, powerfully reflective voice. A Quaker deeply involved in the struggle against slavery (he was harassed by mobs more than once) he enlisted his poetry in the abolitionist cause with such powerful works as “The Hunters of Men,” “Song of Slaves in the Desert,” and “Ichabod!”, his mournful attack on Daniel Webster’s betrayal of the anti-slavery cause. Whittier’s narrative gift is evident in such perennially popular poems as “Skipper Ireson’s Ride” and the Civil War legend “Barbara Frietchie,” while in his masterpiece “Snow-Bound” he created a vivid, flavorful portrait of the country life he knew as a child in New England. “His diction is easy, his detail rich and unassuming, his emotion deep,” writes editor Brenda Wineapple. “And the shale of his New England landscape reaches outward, promising not relief from pain but a glimpse of a better, larger world.” About the American Poets Project Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today’s most discerning poets and critics.
