Which author wrote 'Snow-Bound'?

Snow-Bound is a long poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, and recognizing the author hinges on understanding the poet’s typical focus and era. Whittier, a Quaker-born Fireside Poet, is known for verses that celebrate rural New England life, family, and moral reflection. Snow-Bound fits that mold with its intimate, domestic mood—a family snowbound together in a New England home, reflecting on memory, home, and virtue—traits that characterize Whittier’s work. The other writers listed are associated with very different subjects and styles, not with Whittier’s pastoral, home-centered poetry. This alignment of theme and era points to Whittier as the author of Snow-Bound.
