The Biglow Papers is a collection of satirical poems written by James Russell Lowell, originally published in 1848. The poems are written in the voice of Hosea Biglow, a fictional New England farmer, and address political and social issues of the time, including the Mexican-American War and slavery. The poems are humorous and witty, but also contain serious commentary on the state of American society. The collection is considered a classic of American literature and is often studied in literature and history classes.1900. Lowell is one of the group of authors sometimes called the Fireside Poets, or the Schoolroom Poets, a group which also included Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Because of their conservative approach to verse and the often blatant morality in their poetry, the very qualities that made them popular in their day, have put them out of favor for much of the twentieth century. However, given that Lowell was an ardent abolitionist he may not have been considered conservative in his day. The Biglow Papers, a political satire upon the Invasion by the United States of Mexico, the State of Slavery Question, etc., is one of his most esteemed works.
