A propos de cet article

Poet, abolitionist, and teacher Lucy Larcom was born in 1824 in Beverly, Massachusetts. Larcom’s father, a sea captain, died when she was young, and her mother moved the family to Lowell, where her mother ran a boarding house. Larcom began working in the Lowell textile mills with her sisters when she was just eleven years old. During this time, her poems and stories began appearing in periodicals such as the Lowell Offering, and she first met the poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who became an early supporter of her work. When she was 22, Larcom moved west with her sisters and became a teacher, first in Illinois and later at Wheaton Seminary in Norton, Massachusetts. Larcom Hall on the Wheaton College Campus is named for her. Her most enduring work is generally considered to be her autobiography, A New England Girlhood, Outlined from Memory (1889). This biography, by Daniel Dulany Addison, reviews her writing as well as her work in education. Boston and New York. Houghton, Mifflin and Company. The Riverside Press Cambrdige, 1894, 1894. 8 vo.
