   Extractions: Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911) Contributing Editor: Paul Lauter It's almost impossible for students to connect the apostle of Nat Turner with the "mentor" of Emily Dickinson ; a Christian minister; a colonel of a black Civil War regiment; an active feminist; an important nineteenth-century editor. All these roles were filled by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, yet only the first two aspects are represented by the texts. So the real issue is whether or not he is significant. And if he is, why? If students know Higginson at all, they will probably know him as the man who, in putting Dickinson poems into print, disgracefully smoothed them out, changing her words, her punctuation, even her meanings. Why read such a fellow? Why in the world did Dickinson write to him? At the same time, he doesn't smooth out Nat Turner. Yet, like any historical writer, he "constructs" Nat Turner in a particular way. The nature of that "construction" is not easy to define. Sometimes it's useful to begin from an example of what Higginson (and Todd) did to a Dickinson poem. Their choices say something about Dickinson, about nineteenth-century sensibilities, andwith Higginson's and Dickinson's lettersabout their unique relationship. The revised Dickinson also raises the question of why one might want to include Higginson in this anthology.

He was educated at Harvard, receiving his A.B. in 1841 and graduating from the Divinity School in 1847. While an undergraduate at Harvard, Higginson took the optional coursed in natural history offered by Thaddeus William Harris and developed interests in botany and entomology under Harris' influence. From 1840-1841, Higginson was corresponding secretary and entomological curator of the Harvard Natural History Society, and in the years after his A.B. continued to do some general botanizing. After Harvard, Higginson was involved in the Civil War, in religious activities, in Massachusetts politics, and in the writing of a number of general historical and literary works. During the course of his many other occupations, he maintained an amateur interest in natural history and botany: he was a member of the Boston Society of Natural History and of the Cambridge Entomological Club; he published a memoir of Thaddeus William Harris in 1869 and a book of general essays on plant lore

   Extractions: He is remembered, when he is remembered at all, as Emily Dickinson’s well-meaning but short-sighted “preceptor,” who in co-editing the first collection of her poetry smoothed away the vivid irregularity of her genius. By profession he was a Protestant clergyman; yet he organized and commanded the first regiment of black troops in the Civil War. By heritage, he was a Boston Brahmin; yet in 1854 he led a vigilante assault to free a fugitive slave from a federal courthouse, in the course of which a marshal was shot to death. He was one of nineteenth-century America’s best-known essayists and speakers; yet it was political activism on behalf of abolition, women’s rights, and the demands of working people that gave joy to much of his life. His long career may seem to our later eyes filled with paradoxes if not outright contradictions, yet to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, it was a life which, in looking back, he could describe as Cheerful Yesterdays.

    Extractions: A prolific writer frequently published in the Atlantic Monthly , "a magazine of literature, art, and politics," Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911) corresponded with Emily Dickinson for nearly 25 years and critiqued Walt Whitman several times in the public forum of the printed essay. Liberal in many of his political opinions, advocating for the disenfranchised, Higginson was an abolitionist; in the Civil War, he was a Union Colonel . Dickinson's letters to him show that Higginson called her wayward, dark, uncontrolled, and tameless in taste. His evaluation of Whitman was conventional: "It is no discredit to Walt Whitman that he wrote Leaves of Grass ,' only that he did not burn it afterwards. A young writer must commonly plough his first crop" ( "Literature as Art" ). Though he is most famous for his correspondence with Dickinson, he gave each significant attention. Table of Contents

18. Introduction
    to help students investigate the important exchanges that Whitman had with Emersonand Dickinson had with Thomas Wentworth Higginson (18231911), a Unitarian  
    http://www.iath.virginia.edu/fdw/volume1/belasco/introduction.htm
    
    Extractions: INTRODUCTION In 1855, one of the most famous literary figures in America was Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), author of Nature Essays, First and Second Series (1841 and 1844) and well-known lecturer and poet. Among the most famous sentences in American literature is the comment that Emerson wrote to Whitman after reading the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass : "I greet you at the beginning of a great career, which yet must have had a long foreground somewhere, for such a start." For Whitman, struggling to find an audience for his first book of poems, the unexpected praise from the celebrated Emerson was an almost unbelievable stroke of good luck. This site is intended to explore part of the "foreground" to which Emerson referred-for Whitman and Dickinson. While both poets developed their poetic talents through many years of formal and informal education, wide reading, and constant writing, both poets also had important exchanges with literary figures who provided encouragement at crucial moments. The purpose of this site is to introduce students to the literary environment in which Whitman and Dickinson learned to write and to help students investigate the important exchanges that Whitman had with Emerson and Dickinson had with Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911), a Unitarian minister turned influential journalist and abolitionist.
