| | Definition of James Russell Lowell |
 | | James Russell Lowell (22 February, 1819-12 August, 1891) was a United States poet, critic, satirist, writer, diplomat, and abolitionist. |
 | | It opened the way to new ideals in literature and art, and the writers to whom Lowell turned for assistance--Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Whittier, Edgar Allan Poe, Story and Parsons, none of them yet possessed of a wide reputation--indicate the acumen of the editor. |
 | | The book was not premeditated; a single poem, inspired by the recruiting for the abhorred Mexican war, couched in rustic phrase and sent to the Boston Courier, made him a leader of the little army of Anti-Slavery reformers. |
