John Whittier Treat Livres

    John Greenleaf Whittier fut un influent poète quaker américain et un ardent défenseur de l'abolition de l'esclavage aux États-Unis. Sa poésie, influencée par le poète écossais Robert Burns, est reconnue pour sa forte conviction morale et sa compassion. Les vers de Whittier dépeignaient souvent la beauté de la Nouvelle-Angleterre et exploraient des thèmes de justice et d'humanité. Son œuvre en a fait une figure clé de la littérature américaine du XIXe siècle et l'un des Fireside Poets.
