Synopsis
Words For The Hour by Julia Ward Howe presents a suite of lyric poems, dramatic monologues, and public address that engage abolition, women’s rights, and patriotic themes within a mid-19th-century American context. The volume blends prophetic sermons, elegiac pieces, and social critique, addressing slavery and its brutality, political corruption, and the responsibilities of citizens and leaders. It includes dramatic encounters at Tremont Temple, political meditations on slavery, and tributes to figures such as Sumner and Florence Nightingale, along with intimate lyrics on motherhood, loss, and the human condition. Howe’s verse interweaves classical allusion, religious symbolism, and civic passion to urge justice, mercy, and national renewal. The work also contains reflective lyrics on privation, artistic vocation, and the personal costs of public life, forming a synthesis of public reform and intimate lyricism that marks Howe as a pioneering voice in American poetry and social reform.
