Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Thomas Wentworth Higginson

A wide‑ranging anthology brings together the diverse voice of a 19th‑century writer whose work spans fiction, history, and social commentary. Listeners can wander through a spirited New England romance, feel the chill of a winter harbor in a vivid short piece, and explore a thoughtful introduction that points to each text with convenient links for easy navigation.

Among the standout selections are a tender love story set in the coastal town of Malbone, a lively account of life in a Black regiment during the Civil War, and a concise survey of five slave uprisings that highlights the courage behind each rebellion. The collection also offers a series of essays probing women’s education and a detailed biography of a celebrated poet, illuminating his personal trials and literary triumphs. Together, these works give a compelling snapshot of the era’s cultural currents, inviting listeners to experience history, drama, and ideas through a single, richly curated listening experience.
