Poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) became best known for his
protestant hymns - since 1843, more than 2,100 hymnals published in
the United States have included adaptations of all or portions of
his works - despite the fact that Whittier never considered himself
a hymnist. This book compares and contrasts Whittier's original
published texts with those versions that were adapted as hymns,
exhibiting the hymnodic elements of his poetry and allowing the
reader to observe the methods and results of textual changes to
Whittier's lines by hymnal editors from a variety of denominations.
After a catalog of Whittier's poems that became hymns, it offers
in-depth comparative studies of many of his poems and their
resultant hymns. It includes a chronology of Whittier's life and
works.
