The American romantic Poet Lowell was one of the first to rival the popular British poets. Although Lowell had many other publications throughout his career, in 1848, he published two of his most famous works: A Fable for Critics and The Biglow Papers. In 1838, Lowell graduated from Harvard College and then earned his law degree from Harvard Law School. Lowell was very involved with the anti-slavery movement and worked as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper in Philadelphia PA. He used his poetry to express his opinions on slavery. In 1856, Lowell took the position of Smith Professorship of Modern Languages at Harvard College and remained there for twenty years.
