  1. Lowell is one of the group of authors sometimes called the Fireside Poets, or the Schoolroom Poets, a group which also included Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Because of their conservative approach to verse and the often blatant morality in their poetry, the very qualities that made them popular in their day, have put them out of favor for much of the twentieth century. However, given that Lowell was an ardent abolitionist he may not have been considered conservative in his day. The substance of this volume originated from six lectures read by Lowell at the Lowell Institute in Boston. Contents: Marlowe; Webster; Chapman; Beaumont and Fletcher; and Massinger and Ford. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
