Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series III. Writings by Whittier include poetry, prose, and printed material. The poetry and prose manuscripts are arranged alphabetically by title (see Appendix II). In addition to the titled manuscripts, there are over thirty unidentified stanzas many of which were written when Whittier was young and were never published. In addition are lists of poems for books, handwritten translations of foreign verse and a copy of the contract for "Snowbound." Of interest in the prose manuscripts is an introduction to "Ichabod", Whittier's attack on Daniel Webster for his defense of the Fugitive Slave Law. The printed material consists primarily of newspaper clippings and reprints of poetry, prose, and memorabilia.
