Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was the most popular and admired American poet of the nineteenth century. Born in Portland, Maine, and educated at Bowdoin College, Longfellow’s ambition was always to become a writer; but until mid-life his first profession was the teaching rather than the production of literature, at his alma mater (1829-35) and then at Harvard (1836-54). His teaching career was punctuated by two extended study-tours of Europe, during which Longfellow made himself fluent in all the major Romance and Germanic languages. Thanks to a fortunate marriage and the growing popularity of his work, from his mid-thirties onwards Longfellow, ensconced in a comfortable Cambridge mansion, was able to devote an increasingly large fraction of his energies to the long narrative historical and mythic poems that made him a household word, especially
Evangeline (1847),
The Song of Hiawatha (1855),
The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858), and
Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863, 1872, 1873). Versatile as well as prolific, Longfellow also won fame as a writer of short ballads and lyrics, and experimented in the essay, the short story, the novel, and the verse drama. Taken as a whole, Longfellow’s writings show a breadth of literary learning, an understanding of western languages and cultures, unmatched by any American writer of his time.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a renowned American poet, penned the epic poem 'Evangeline', which tells the story of two lovers separated during the Acadian Expulsion. Written in a lyrical and emotive style, Longfellow captures the tragic journey of Evangeline as she searches for her lost love Gabriel. The poem is set against the backdrop of historical events, offering a glimpse into the human experience of displacement and resilience. Longfellow's use of imagery and symbolism enriches the narrative, making it a timeless classic in American literature. Evangeline embodies the Romantic ideals of love, faith, and endurance, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition. Longfellow's meticulous attention to detail and poignant storytelling make 'Evangeline' a must-read for those interested in exploring themes of loss, love, and perseverance in a historical context. This masterpiece showcases Longfellow's poetic prowess and solidifies his place as a literary giant in American poetry.
