Illustrated by One Hundred Engravings From Drawings by Birket Foster, Harry Fenn, Alfred Fredricks and Others. Published in New York by D. Appleton and Company. \u003cbr\u003e*William Cullen Bryant was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New-York Evening Post. Born in Massachusetts, he started his career as a lawyer but showed an interest in poetry early in his life.\u003cbr\u003eBryant became one of the most significant poets in early American literary history. He is typically included among the group of poets referred to as the fireside poets, along with Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, James Russell Lowell, and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. They are considered to be among the first American poets whose popularity rivaled that of British poets, both at home and abroad and are so named because their writing was a source of entertainment for families gathered around the fire at home. Bryant’s poetry has been described as being “of a thoughtful, meditative character, and makes but slight appeal to the mass of readers”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Budding Burrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944572944669,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/4211\/0749\/files\/4D1A3C2F-D3A9-48F4-9645-84B375CC4CC5.jpg?v=1782969477","url":"https:\/\/www.thebuddingburrow.com\/products\/1878-the-poetical-works-of-william-cullen-bryant","provider":"The Budding Burrow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
