Greenblatt's book is poor stuff!

either of his logic or his prose.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Fritchie
<<Barbara Fritchie (née Hauer) (Dec. 3, 1766 – Dec. 18, 1862)
was a Unionist during the Civil War. She was born in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, a& married John Casper Fritchie, a *glove maker* , on
May 6, 1806. Barbara Fritchie was a friend of *FREEMASON* Francis
Scott Key and they participated together in a memorial service
at Frederick, Maryland, when *FREEMASON* George Washington died.
According to one story, at the age of 95 she waved the Union flag in
the middle of the street to block, or at least antagonize Stonewall
Jackson's troops, as they passed though Frederick in the Maryland
Campaign. This event is the subject of John Greenleaf Whittier's
poem of 1864, Barbara Frietchie. When *FREEMASON* Winston Churchill
passed through Frederick in 1943, he stopped at the house and
recited the poem from memory, an excerpt of which follows.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Greenleaf_Whittier
<<John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 – September 7, 1892) was
an influential American Quaker poet and ardent advocate of the
abolition of slavery in the United States. Whittier was strongly
influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Highly regarded in his
lifetime and for a period thereafter, he is now remembered for his
poem Snow-Bound.
John Greenleaf Whittier was born to John and Abigail (Hussey) at their
rural homestead near Haverhill, Massachusetts. Although he received
little formal education, he was an avid reader who studied his
father’s six books on Quakerism until their teachings became the
foundation of his ideology. Whittier was heavily influenced by the
doctrines of his religion, particularly its stress on humanitarianism,
compassion, and social responsibility.
To raise money to attend Haverhill Academy, Whittier became a
*shoemaker* for a time, and a deal was made to pay part of his tuition
with food from the family farm.
Whittier became an out-spoken critic of President Andrew Jackson, and
by 1830 was editor of the prominent New England Weekly Review in
Hartford, Connecticut, the most influential Whig journal in New
England. In 1833 he published The Song of the Vermonters, 1779, which
he had anonymously inserted in The New England Magazine. The poem was
erroneously attributed to Ethan Allen for nearly sixty years.
The city of Whittier, California is named after the poet, as are the
communities of Whittier, Alaska, and Whittier, Iowa, the Minneapolis
neighborhood of Whittier, the Denver, Colorado, neighborhood of
Whittier, and the town of Greenleaf, Idaho. Both Whittier College and
Whittier Law School are also named after him. A park in the Saint
Boniface area of Winnipeg is named after the poet in recognition of
his poem "The Red River Voyageur".
Nathaniel Hawthorne dismissed Whittier's Literary Recreations and
Miscellanies (1854): "Whittier's book is poor stuff! I like the man,
but have no high opinion either of his poetry or his prose." The
alternate history story P.'s Correspondence (1846) by Nathaniel
Hawthorne, considered the first such story ever published in English,
includes the notice "Whittier, a fiery Quaker youth, to whom the muse
had perversely assigned a battle-trumpet, got himself lynched, in
South Carolina". The date of that event in Hawthorne's invented
timeline was 1835.>>
