Summary "Songs of Labor and Reform" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of anti-slavery poems written during the mid-19th century. The work captures the essence of social reform and the struggle for justice, particularly emphasizing the fight against slavery and the dignity of labor. Whittier's verses reflect a strong moral conviction and a deep commitment to the causes of freedom, equality, and human rights, echoing the abolitionist sentiments of his time. The opening portion of the collection introduces us to themes of purity, righteousness, and the moral fortitude rooted in Quaker teachings. In the poem "The Quaker of the Olden Time," Whittier sketches the image of a man untouched by the corruption of society, guided instead by a profound sense of right and wrong. This setting provides a foundation for the subsequent poems that tackle various social issues, including democracy, the horrors of capital punishment, and the resilience of different laboring classes. Through this blend of reflections on historical figures and participatory calls for reform, Whittier articulates a vision of hope that advocates for justice and moral progress in a divided society.
