Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, IX: the Atlantic Essays (search)
IX: the Atlantic Essays In the midst of these public interests, Mr. Higginson did some of the best literary work of his life. In the winter of 1852, he dined with A. Bronson Alcott at James T. Fields', and Mr. Alcott amused himself by guessing, with astonishing success, Mr. Higginson's literary methods. Some of the features he had divined were the young author's habit of bridge-building, of composing much in the open air, and in separate sentences. This analysis the latter declared admThe best result of S. L.'s [Samuel Longfellow] visit [to Europe] was to transform Thalatta from a past vision to a future reality. . . . We planned it six years ago and now Europe has revived it all in Sam and he has proposed it once more to James T. Fields (Ticknor & Co.) and that bold youth (also fresh from Europe, these two having visited the Brownings together) consented. So the book is to begin to be printed in February and between now and then what copying and debating and selecting!

Meantime reports of Northern victories in Virginia arrived, and were duly exciting to Colonel Higginson and his officers. Although the former kept ample notes in his journal, he did not attempt much literary work while in camp. He wrote to his wife:— Perhaps Hooker's victories will give that cheerfulness to the public mind which J. T. Fields thinks favorable to book publishing; and thus do great events link on to small ones and affect literary Colonels. It was a great satisfaction to Colonel Higginson, as time went on, to know that the peculiar responsibility which he had felt as commander of the first regiment of freedmen was diminishing, owing to the rapid multiplication of Negro regiments. Any disaster, he wrote to his mother on May 18, 1863, or failure on our part would now do little harm . . . .There is no d

rary aspirants who continually sought his sympathetic aid, written a book notice and several letters, made the first draughts of two Independent articles, aided in a written examination of the high school for one and a half hours in the afternoon, and spent two and a half hours examining school papers in the evening, besides his usual exercise. In the summer of this year (1867), he embodied some of his translations of Petrarch's sonnets in a paper which he thus described in a letter to J. T. Fields, whom he called his poet-publisher:— I am writing a species of rhapsody called Sunshine and Petrarch, supposed to be written outof-doors; a kind of plum pudding, Nature furnishing the pudding-Petrarch the plums, translated sonnets being inserted at proper intervals. It is charming to the writer which is dangerous, as the ratio of fascination is generally inverted ere reaching the public. As puddings should be thoroughly boiled, I shall keep this the rest of the week, probably. Hi
