Summary "The Works of John Greenleaf Whittier, Complete" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a comprehensive collection of narrative and legendary poems written in the mid-19th century. This volume showcases the poet's exploration of themes such as freedom, human rights, and historical narratives, focusing particularly on the struggle against slavery and social injustices of his time. Whittier's work is deeply infused with a sense of place, drawing on New England's landscape and its storied past, often invoking figures and events from both indigenous history and colonial America. The opening of the collection presents an overview and preface that highlight Whittier’s revisions and personal reflections on his earlier works. He discusses his early poems, some of which he regards with ambivalence but acknowledges their significance in the context of the anti-slavery movement. Among the poems mentioned, "The Vaudois Teacher" and "The Female Martyr" set a somber tone, emphasizing moral and spiritual themes, as they recount the dedication of the Waldensians and a young martyr who served the sick during a cholera outbreak, respectively. The initial chapters establish a foundational understanding of Whittier's poetic style and the historical contexts that frame his artistry, hinting at a collection rich with emotional weight and social commentary.
