Infos

In "Poems," Samuel G. Goodrich presents a captivating collection that intricately weaves personal reflection with universal themes. Known for his vivid imagery and lyrical style, Goodrich's verses explore the beauty and transience of life, drawing on Romantic influences while infusing his own sentiments and observations. Each poem serves as a conduit for emotional expression, often addressing nature, love, and loss, resonating strongly in the literary context of early 19th-century American poetry, which sought to carve a distinct identity against European traditions. Samuel G. Goodrich, also recognized under the pseudonym Peter Parley, was not only a talented poet but also a prominent author and educator. His diverse experiences, including travel and a deep commitment to nurturing young minds, influenced his sensitivity to language and themes present in his poetry. Published during a time when America was shaping its literary voice, Goodrich's work reflects both personal insights and a broader cultural consciousness, making him a pioneer in expressing the American experience. I highly recommend "Poems" to readers interested in exploring the nuanced layers of human emotion and the natural world through rich, evocative verse. Goodrich's work is a testament to the enduring power of poetry, inviting readers to reflect upon their own experiences while appreciating the artistry of language.

Autor

Samuel G. Goodrich, known in the literary world by his pseudonym Peter Parley, was a prolific 19th-century American author, best remembered for his contributions to children's literature. Reconnoitering the interplay between factual exposition and entertaining storytelling, Goodrich was born on August 19, 1793, in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Not merely a writer but an advocate of education, he aimed to instil a love for learning in young minds through his imaginative narratives which often amalgamated moral lessons with historical and geographical facts. His work, 'Poems' is a testament to his versatility, showcasing his ability to weave the written word into evocative and thoughtful verse. Beyond his poetry, Goodrich's legacy comprises over a hundred books, which include his 'Tales' series, 'Peter Parley's Annual,' and various geographies and histories rendered accessible for the youth. His literary style was innovative for his time, marrying informative content with a storytelling approach designed to engage children — which proved revolutionary in the field of educational literature. Goodrich's influence extended to his editorship roles and his social engagement, where he underscored the moral responsibility of authorship. He passed away on May 9, 1860, leaving behind a body of work that not only educated but also shaped the American youth's perception of their burgeoning country and wider world.
