About this book
A prosperous patriarch watches his children celebrate together before sudden losses strip away the security of his household. L. H. Sigourney turns the biblical story of Job into verse, dwelling on grief, bodily suffering, generosity and the effort to keep faith amid hardship. Her preface describes the title poem as passages shaped into a connected work, intended to encourage closer reading of the scriptural account.
Published in 1862, the collection also includes The Rural Life in New England in three cantos and memorial poems arranged under the years 1859 through 1862. The rural verse brings religious reflection into acts of personal kindness: a veiled visitor offers flowers and a sacred book to a prisoner, while a benevolent woman comforts the poor and welcomes young people to her table.
