The Biglow Papers is a collection of satirical poems written by American poet and essayist James Russell Lowell, first published in 1848 and then republished in 1872. The poems are written in the voice of Hosea Biglow, a fictional New England farmer, and his friend, the Rev. Homer Wilbur, who comment on various political and social issues of the time, including the Mexican-American War, slavery, and the rise of industrialization. The poems are written in a mixture of dialect and standard English, and often use humor and irony to criticize the government and society. The Biglow Papers is considered a classic of American literature and a significant work of political satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
