About This Item
Cambridge: John Owen, 1842. Longfellow, very conscious of his public persona, published this collection of poems in support of the United States anti-slavery efforts even though he feared it would hurt him commercially. At the time of publication reviews were mixed. Contemporary critics, however, have noted that Longfellow's use of language and vivid imagery throughout the poems anticipated Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin which later helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War.
