Publisher Description
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in 1807 in Portland, Maine into a privileged background. Studious, he worked hard and grew to love languages and poetry from an early age. He traveled extensively in Europe for three years, immersing himself in various languages, and became much influenced by its poets. From there, he returned to the United States and eventually taught at Harvard.
Today he is rightly known as an icon of American poetry with classics such as "Paul Revere's Ride" and "The Song of Hiawatha." In this collection we bring you further examples of his great talents that read undimmed to this very day.
