Children Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the most popular and influential American poet of the 19th century and had the widest range and greatest technical skill of all the poets of "the flowering of New England." He influenced the poetic taste of generations of readers throughout the English-speaking world. Combining gentility with the common touch, he was equally successful in lyric and narrative poetry and during his later years became a master of the sonnet. Ballads like The Wreck of the Hesperus and Paul Revere's Ride were familiar to every schoolchild, and Evangeline (1847) became the first enduringly successful long poem written in the United States. His exploration of Indian lore in The Song of Hiawatha (1855) showed his skill in the use of American subject matter, and as a pioneer in the teaching of modern languages, he helped introduce Americans to the literature of Europe.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is one of the most famous American poets. People love his poems because they rhyme and sound like songs. Henry was born on February 27, 1807 in Portland, Maine. He was the son of Stephen and Zilpah Longfellow, who was a descendant of John Alden of the Mayflower. Henry's father, Stephen, was a lawyer so Henry was born to a rich family. Henry was very bright and he began school at age three. By the time he was six he was the smartest boy in the school. He was very good at spelling and arithmetic. But Henry loved to write and eventually became very good at it. His Mother enjoyed reading to her young son; Don Quixote was one of Henry’s favorite books, along with Washington Irving's Sketch Book . Henry's father wanted him to become a lawyer but after Henry graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine at the age of 19 he wanted to become a professor. But Henry wanted to travel to Europe to study. He followed that dream, but later returned to Bowdoin to become a professor and librarian at age 22. Because of the influence of his travels, he inspired his students to appreciate the literature of Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Nordic, and Icelandic cultures. In 1831 Henry married Mary Storer Potter, a former schoolmate. He settled down and started the New England Magazine. He and his wife traveled to Europe, where he studied Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and the Dutch language and literature. Mary died in Rotterdam, Germany, while they were traveling in 1835.

Americans owe a great debt to Longfellow because he was among the first of American writers to use native themes. He wrote about the American scene and landscape, the American Indian ('Song of Hiawatha'), and American history and tradition ('The Courtship of Miles Standish', 'Evangeline'). At the beginning of the 19th century, America was a stumbling babe as far as a culture of its own was concerned. The people of America had spent their years and their energies in carving a habitation out of the wilderness and in fighting for independence. Literature, art, and music came mainly from Europe and especially from England. Nothing was considered worthy of attention unless it came from Europe.
