This 1911 volume was written by Hudson for use in schools. Part of the Poetry and Life series, it combines a biography with a selection of James Russell Lowell’s poetry. Hudson created the series because he believed students’ interests would be piqued by the theory that personality informs poetry—he based this volume on Lowell’s conservative opinions.
