Lowell was part of the Romantic movement in literature and was associated with the Fireside Poets. Editor Charles Eliot Norton writes in an Editorial Note that his intent was to select and arrange Lowell's letters to form a sort of autobiography. Also included are third-person biographical descriptions that add further details to Lowell's life. Volumes I and II collectively encompass the entirety of Lowell's life; Vol. I covers the years 1819-1868 and Vol. II covers the years 1868-1891.

From the Editorial Note in Volume I: "In making the following selection from the great mass of Mr. Lowell's letters which was in my hands, my attempt was to secure for it, so far as possible, an autobiographic character". "Mr. Lowell, indeed, made to the public in his poetry such revelation of his inward experiences and emotions as he alone had the right to make, and such as may well suffice to satisfy all legitimate interest in the spiritual development of the poet and in the nature of his most intimate and sacred human relations. Read together, his poems and his letters show him with rare completeness as he truly was".
