Whittier.'. John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807-September 7, 1892) was a poet, journalist and abolitionist, and was known as one of the Fireside Poets, a group of popular American poets during the latter half of the 19th century. The Fireside Poets' adherence to poetic convention made their work suitable for memorization and recitation in school and at home around the fireplace. Whittier's immersion in Quakerism heavily influenced his thinking, as did his association and friendship with noted abolitionist, journalist and publisher William Lloyd Garrison.
