Autorenporträt
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) stands as one of the most distinguished American poets of the nineteenth century. Born in Portland, Maine, which was then a part of Massachusetts, Longfellow grew up enveloped in the nurturing environment of a vibrant intellectual family. His literary prowess led to his education at Bowdoin College, where he graduated in 1825. Embarking on a storied academic career, he furthered his linguistic studies in Europe before assuming a professorship in Modern Languages at Bowdoin and, subsequently, at Harvard College. Longfellow's poetic contributions are profound and numerous, with 'Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie' (1847) being amongst his most celebrated works. In this narrative poem, he explores themes of love, exile, and the search for one's home, set against the backdrop of the Acadian expulsion, with his signature use of both Romantic and Victorian styles. His mastery of lyrical poetry and his ability to weave folklore and history into evocative storytelling not only brought him acclaim during his lifetime but has also ensured his lasting renown. A multifaceted man of letters, Longfellow's works extend beyond poetry, reflecting his expertise in the realms of translation and pedagogy as well. His legacy endures, a testament to the power of his poetic voice and his skillful engagement with the human experience.
