Students today and sometimes their teachers, too have a difficult time fully comprehending the important public role that poets and poetry played in centuries past. Pamela Fenner s Celebrating Whittier, New England s Quaker, Poet, and Abolitionist: America s 1907 Centennial builds a bridge across a hundred years to show us just how popular and influential one poet could become. This book is an important and practical addition to Whittier scholarship December 17, 1907 marked the Centennial (or Centenary) of the birth of John Greenleaf Whittier, one of the most recognized and revered Americans of the nineteenth century. He not only was hailed as the Poet Laureate of Freedom by African Americans, abolitionists and political leaders, but also remained one of the most popular poets in America.Hundreds of celebrations were held throughout the country from Boston to Chicago to California with the special ceremonies and talks highlighted in the communities where Whittier lived Haverhill and Amesbury in Essex County, Massachusetts.Fenner, a past president of the Whittier Home Association, has reconstructed the 1907 celebrations in amazing detail and scope. Here are the documents, photographs, and reproductions that record a proud nation s tribute to the Quaker, poet, journalist and one of America s early abolitionists. Some orators were the social activists and reformers of their time. They lamented that while slavery had been abolished, the full freedoms that Whittier and others sought so fervently had yet to be achieved. Their appeals to President Theodore Roosevelt remind one of the rhetoric of Martin Luther King, Jr. and others during the 1960s Civil Rights MovementThe inspiring speeches of Booker T. Washington, William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., Franklin B. Sanborn, and Bliss Perry give the reader an understanding of the central role that Whittier played in American letters and history during the nineteenth century and the reverence his own contemporaries had for the life and work.This accessible book will surely remain a permanent contribution to those interested in the abolition movement, nineteenth century literature and history.
