Know about the Poet
©KTBS

James Russell Lowell (1819 - 1891) was an Amer-
ican poet. Lowell believed that the poet played an
important role as a prophet. He also believed that
poetry is linked with religion, nature and social
reform. Hence, he used poetry for reform.

Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838
and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He
published his first collection of poetry in 1842. He was involved
in the movement to abolish slavery in America and used poetry
to express his anti-slavery views.
