Influential leaders in the world
of publishing,
law, education, medicine, and social reform, the New England poets of
the
mid-19th century developed a popular audience and extended America's
literary
confidence. At the same time, writers like James Russell Lowell
turned
their talents to social issues--slavery, the United States incursion
into
Mexico--for heavy satire and criticism, agitating for political and
social
change.
