This short biography of John Greenleaf Whittier, published in 1917, was part of the Poetry and Life series, combining biography and poetry to present a fully rounded portrait of its subject. Hudson was of the opinion that Whittier “was not a great poet… He produced nothing on a large scale which is in the least likely to survive.” However, Hudson believed Whittier’s brilliance was his pure truthfulness in poetry.
