Summary "Personal Poems II" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of poetry written during the mid-to-late 19th century, specifically reflecting the sentiments of the abolitionist movement and social justice issues of that era. The poems celebrate themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the everlasting quest for freedom, dedicating verses to notable figures in history such as Charles Sumner, Robert Rantoul, and John Brown, while also expressing love for nature and humanity. The content of the book is diverse, covering personal reflections, memorials, and tributes that highlight the lives and contributions of various individuals who championed freedom and justice. For instance, poems honor figures like William Forster and Garibaldi, while others reflect personal grief or admiration, such as in the remembrances of the poet's friends and contemporaries.
