DESCRIPTION

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems &Other Writings (LOA #118) (Library of America)

No American writer of the nineteenth century was more universally enjoyed and admired than Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow. His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here

and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale

literary portrait of America&#8217sgreatest popular poet.Here are the poems that created an American

mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride

of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the

strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden verses like

&#8220APsalm of Life&#8221and &#8220ThChildren&#8217sHour,&#8221whose phrases and

characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are

the sparer, darker lyrics&#8212quotThe Fire of Drift-Wood,&quot&#8220Mezo

Cammin,&#8221&#8220Snw-Flakes,&#8221and many others&#8212tht show a more austere aspect of

Longfellow&#8217spoetic gift.Erudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated

with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in

the great book-length narratives such as&nbspEvageline&nbspandnbspThe Song of Hiawatha&nbspboth

included in full) or the stories collected in&nbspTals of a Wayside Inn&nbspreprinted here in a generous

selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his

verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse

dramas, notably&nbspTheNew England Tragedies&nbspalso complete), are remarkable in their range

and ambition.As a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow&#8217snovel&nbspKavnagh,

a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution

to the development of American fiction. A selection of essays rounds out of the volume and provides

testimony of Longfellow&#8217sconcern with creating an American national literature.bLIBRARY OF

AMERICA/b&nbspisan independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our
