Snowbound: A Winter Idyl (1906) is a narrative poem by the American poet John Greenleaf Whittier. The poem describes a snowstorm that hits a rural New England community, causing the narrator and his family to be snowed in for several days. The poem is a reflection on family, community, and the power of nature. It is divided into seven sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the storm and its effects. The first section sets the scene and introduces the narrator's family, while the second section describes the arrival of the storm. The third section focuses on the narrator's memories of his childhood and his family's history, while the fourth section describes the activities of the family during their confinement. The fifth section is a reflection on the beauty of the winter landscape, while the sixth section describes the arrival of a rescue party. The final section celebrates the strength of the community and the bonds of family. Overall, Snowbound is a nostalgic and sentimental portrayal of a bygone era, and it remains a popular example of American regional literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
