John Greenleaf Whittier was a Quaker poet and writer whose work reflected strong moral purpose and deep emotional sensitivity. Born on 17 December 1807 in Haverhill, Massachusetts, he grew up in a rural setting that shaped his lifelong appreciation for simplicity, faith, and the natural world. Whittier became widely recognized for his powerful opposition to slavery, using poetry and prose to support the abolitionist movement in the United States. His writings often carried themes of justice, compassion, perseverance, and spiritual reflection, making him an influential voice in reform literature. He was frequently included among the Fireside Poets, a group of writers whose verses were widely read in American homes for their warmth and accessibility. Influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns, Whittier developed a lyrical style that combined tenderness with ethical conviction. He is especially remembered for his anti-slavery works and for Snow-Bound, published in 1866, which captured memory, family life, and resilience with lasting emotional power. His parents were Abigail Hussey Whittier and John Whittier, and he had a sibling, Elizabeth Hussey Whittier. Whittier died on 7 September 1892 in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire.
