Final answer:
James Russell Lowell's first book of poetry is titled 'A Year's Life' and it was published in 1841. His work belongs to the American Romantic movement, akin to that of Romantic poets like William Wordsworth, who penned 'The Daffodils'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The name of James Russell Lowell's first book of poetry is A Year's Life, published in 1841. Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat, associated closely with the Fireside Poets. His work was part of the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotion and individualism, much like the work of other Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth.
While Lowell had his unique voice, the ethos of his poetry shared the romanticism and celebration of nature seen in Wordsworth's poetry, for example, the beautiful and now iconic "The Daffodils". Lowell's initial work garnered attention but did not achieve the immediate success of contemporaries such as Whitman, whose Leaves of Grass had a substantial impact on American poetry.
