1. About William Cullen Bryant William Cullen Bryant was born in Cummington, Massachusetts, on November 3, 1794. http://users.erols.com/kfraser/authors/bryant.html

William Cullen Bryant was born in Cummington, Massachusetts, on November 3, 1794. A lawyer by training, he tired of the profession after 10 years in practice and moved to New York City in 1825, where he became the editor of the New York Review and Atheneum Magazine . Undaunted by the publication's failure the following year, he remained in the city and signed on as an editorial assistant with the New York Evening Post , eventually rising to part owner and editor in chief. Bryant used the Post to crusade for the causes in which he believed, among them free trade, free speech, and the abolition of slavery. A leader of the anti-slavery Free-Soil movement within the Democratic Party, he was one of the founders of the Republican Party. He was also an early political backer of Abraham Lincoln and a staunch supporter of the Union during the War Between the States. Among Bryant's major works were Thanatopsis and his own versions of The Illyiad and The Odyssey . After living a long life and amassing great wealth, Bryant died after a fall in 1878. He was 84 years old. "The Death of Abraham Lincoln" This page is http://users.erols.com/kfraser/authors/bryant.html

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878) Midsummer October November To an American Painter Departing for Europe ... William Tell Midsummer A power is on the earth and in the air From which the vital spirit shrinks afraid, And shelters him, in nooks of deepest shade, From the hot steam and from the fiery glare. Look forth upon the earthher thousand plants Are smitten; even the dark sun-loving maize Faints in the field beneath the torrid blaze; The herd beside the shaded fountain pants; For life is driven from all the landscape brown; The bird has sought his tree, the snake his den, The trout floats dead in the hot stream, and men Drop by the sun-stroke in the populous town; As if the Day of Fire had dawned, and sent Its deadly breath into the firmament. October Aye, thou art welcome, heaven's delicious breath! When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf, And sons grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief, And the year smiles as it draws near its death. Wind of the sunny south! oh, still delay In the gay woods and in the golden air, Like to a good old age released from care

Latest News William Cullen Bryant WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT was born at Cummington, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, November 3, 1794, and, after an unusually long and active literary life, he died in New York, June 12, 1878. His father was Peter Bryant, a physician of considerable literary culture, and a person who had traveled quite extensively. The father took an unusual interest in the culture of his children, and he was amply rewarded for all his pains. There is an unauthenticated tradition that the first Bryant of whom there is any account in America, came over in the Mayflower. Mr. Stephen Bryant came over from England, and was settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1836. Stephen's son Ichabod was the father of Philip Bryant and Philip, of Peter, the father of William Cullen. Bryant's mother was Miss Sarah Snell, of Mayflower stock, being a descendant of John Alden. Thus our poet has an honorable and cultured ancestry. Strict Puritanical discipline was the order of the day, hence the young poet's life did not fall in pleasant places, so far as recreations were concerned. While the children were held with a steady hand, their educational and moral interests were considered with conscientious earnestness.

William Cullen Bryant William Cullen Bryant was a young lawyer when his poem "Thanatopsis" first appeared in the North American Review in 1817. Inspired by the romantic lyrics of William Wordsworth, Bryant found his subject in the American landscape, especially that of New England. By 1825, critics on both sides of the Atlantic called him the finest poet in the United States. But reputation alone could not support his family, and in 1826 Bryant joined the New York Evening Post . By 1840, Bryant had largely abandoned poetry to become one of the country's leading advocates for abolition. From 1856 on, the Evening Post was a Republican paper, supporting the arming of abolitionist settlers in Kansas, deriding the Dred Scott decision, and celebrating John Brown as a martyr. In 1860, Bryant introduced Abraham Lincoln before the audience at Cooper Union in New York. Later, Bryant and the Evening Post influenced Lincoln's decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Brady photographed the powerful editor in New York around 1860. See Thomas Cole Imperial salted-paper print, ca. 1860

William Cullen Bryant Essay by Wynn Yarborough, 1994 William Cullen Bryant was our " first American writer of verse to win international acclaim." (Tomlinson, 30) Bryant was considered a child-prodigy, publishing his first poem at age ten and his first book when he was thirteen, a political satire of an embargo policy of Thomas Jefferson. Bryant studied both Latin and Greek and had access to a library full of the classics, which explains many of the classical allusions in his poetry. Dr Bryant, his father, was a physician and interceded in many points of Bryant's life. He pushed Bryant towards the legal profession, helped critique and even sent his poems, without his son's approval, to literary magazines, and helped to publish his first book, Embargo . Bryant's early poetry was published in the early nineteenth century. He published poems in the North American Review. In fact this is where we first find "Thanatopsis." This early poetry seems to be written before and submitted much later; Bryant was known for editing his work for quite some time before submissions. He also published essays in which he called for a " . . . robust American literature." (Tomlinson, 33) He wanted poetry praised for its merit not its "American-ness". He was very interested in technique, publishing "On the Use of Trisyllabic Feet in Iambic Verse" in 1819. His combination of freedom and form is not seen as paradoxical:" His poetic theory and practice, founded upon romantic principles of emotional expression, naturalness, simplicity, spontaneity, irregularity, and freedom, set him squarely in the romantic movement which he anticipates in America by over a decade." (Jelliffe, p. 134)

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT (1794-1878) Poems . Cambridge, Mass.: Hilliard and Metcalf, 182l. William Cullen Bryant published this, his first collection of poems, when he was twenty-seven years old. "Thanatopsis," the most outstanding piece in this collection of eight poems and certainly the most famous of all his verse, was first published in the Hampshire Gazette when the author was only seventeen. Another poem of note in this volume is the mystico-religious "To a Waterfowl." The manuscript for Poems was edited for publication by Richard Henry Dana, Sr. and E.T. Channing, and printed by Hilliard and Metcalf in an edition of 750 in late August or early September of 1821. Some copies were bound in boards and some in wrappers. This issue shown is an unopened copy in its brown printed wrappers. It is conjectured that only 200 copies were bound this way.

William Cullen Bryant studied at Williams College from 1810-1811. Bryant turned to law when his father's financial condition prevented him from continuing his studies at Williams College after only a year there from 1810-1811. He was an avid reader and was fond of romantic poets. In 1808, he wrote "The Embargo" castigating President Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), which he later regretted. In 1811, he drafted his poem "Thanatopsis" and, in 1815, he was admitted to the bar and practiced law in Great Barrington, Massachusetts (unhappily) for ten years. In 1821 Bryant published a book of verse; in 1825, he worked for the New York Review ; and, in 1827, for the New York Evening Post . In 1829, he became editor and part owner of New York Evening Post . In 1832, another volume of collected poems was published.
