Poems of James Russell Lowell, With Biographical Sketch by Nathan Haskell Dole.

Set in 1892, this collection features the works of James Russell Lowell, a prominent member of the Fireside Poets, alongside notable contemporaries like Longfellow and Whittier. Known for their moralistic verse, these poets enjoyed popularity in their time but faced criticism in the twentieth century for their conservative style. Lowell's strong abolitionist stance adds complexity to his reputation, suggesting a progressive edge that contrasts with his peers. The book includes a biographical sketch by Nathan Haskell Dole.
