Poet And Social ActivistBy Dave_42"Julia Ward Howe 1819 - 1910" by Laura Richards and is a biography of a woman who was in many ways the moral cornerstone of the United States throughout her life. She was a poet, and a social activist fighting for the abolitionist cause, and later for the cause of the Greeks and Armenians in their fight for freedom and survival against the Turks.The edition of the biography which I am reviewing is the two volume set published in March of 1916 by the Houghton Mifflin Company. Volume I is a seventeen chapter 392 page volume which covers her entire life. The focus of this volume are the major events in her life, starting with her ancestry as the great-granddaughter of Samuel Ward who was the Governor of Rhode Island and a delegate to the Continental Congress. On her maternal side, she was the granddaughter of Sarah Mitchell Cutler, who was a niece of (a.k.a. the "Swamp Fox") who was a lieutenant colonel in the continental army. The book then has chapters on her childhood, early adulthood, her writing, the Civil War, her travels, and her support for causes such as "The Peace Crusade" and woman's rights.Volume II includes 15 chapters and an Index for both volumes, and is a total of 434 pages. This volume covers her life from the age of 58 through the end of her life in a much more personal way than the first volume. It draws a tremendous amount of material from her personal journals and letters, while the first volume uses a more diverse collection of sources. Each chapter in both volumes starts with one of her poems as a header.While one gets many of her poems included in these volumes, it is surprising that the only copy of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" included is a fold-out copy (in volume one) of her hand-written first draft. I would have appreciated it if an easier to read printing of the hymn had been included as well. Of course, it is not that difficult to find the words to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", but it certainly would have been preferable to me to have them included in one of these two volumes.Laura Richards and Maud Howe Elliott were the two youngest daughters of Julia Ward Howe and , and assisted by Florence Howe Hall, another of Julia's daughters. They were able to make this biography feel much more personal as a result of writing about someone who they knew so well. It is not surprising that this biography was the first winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biographies in 1917.
