January 27, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information regarding the book "The Cathedral," by James Russell Lowell. There are divergent opinion of critics regarding this collection of poems. The first opinion holds that "The Cathedral" is a fair specimen of the sort of thing that the New England writers have now for a long time been successfully palming off on the rest of mankind as poetry, whereas, in reality, it is so and so. Another opinion is that this latest of his poems is by far Lowell's best, and that it is sure of a long immortality; and a third is that "The Cathedral" is a fine poem, but that the poet does hardly so well in it as in the old anti-slavery poetry.
