Longfellow, professor of modern languages at Harvard, was the best-known American poet of his day. He was responsible for the misty, ahistorical, legendary sense of the past that merged American and European traditions. He wrote three long narrative poems popularizing native legends in European meters "Evangeline" (1847), "The Song of Hiawatha" (1855), and "The Courtship of Miles Standish" (1858). Longfellow also wrote textbooks on modern languages and a travel book entitled Outre-Mer , retelling foreign legends and patterned after Washington Irving's Sketch Book . Although conventionality, sentimentality, and facile handling mar the long poems, haunting short lyrics like "The Jewish Cemetery at Newport" (1854), "My Lost Youth" (1855), and "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" (1880) continue to give pleasure.

"Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet, one of the most popular and celebrated of his time. Born in Portland, Maine, Longfellow received his education at Bowdoin College , where he was a classmate of Nathaniel Hawthorne. After graduating in 1825, he traveled in Europe, returning to teach modern languages at Bowdoin until 1835. In 1836 he began teaching at Harvard University After retiring from Harvard in 1854, Longfellow devoted himself almost exclusively to writing poetry. In his words: "Music is the universal language of mankind poetry their universal pastime and delight." Longfellow's work began to gain fame with his first volume of verse, "Voices of the Night", published in 1839. Many of his written words are familiar ... his later works include 'The Wreck of the Hesperus', the well-known 'The Village Blacksmith' and 'Paul Revere's Ride', as well as his narrative poems reflecting American themes: 'Evangeline' (1847), 'The Song of Hiawatha' (1855), and 'The Courtship of Miles Standish' (1858). Longfellow's poetry is recognized for its familiar themes, simple ideas, and clear, almost musical language. Despite the fact that many modern critics criticize his work as being overly sentimental, Longfellow has always been one of the most popular of American poets, mainly because of his simple style of writing, and because of his role in popularizing American historical themes. His writings have been described as instrumental in creating a public audience for poetry in the United States. Perhaps no other American poet has written so much and been so popular. The

WALLINGFORD Dept. Manager Rajinder S. Bedi Dept. Webmaster Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Biography of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Probably one of the best loved American poets the world over is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Many of his lines are as familiar to us as rhymes from Mother Goose or the words of nursery songs learned in early childhood. Like these rhymes and melodies, they remain in the memory and accompany us through life. There are two reasons for the popularity and significance of Longfellow's poetry. First, he had the gift of easy rhyme. He wrote poetry as a bird sings, with natural grace and melody. Read or heard once or twice, his rhyme and meters cling to the mind long after the sense may be forgotten. Second, Longfellow wrote on obvious themes which appeal to all kinds of people. His poems are easily understood; they sing their way into the consciousness of those who read them. Above all, there is a joyousness in them, a spirit of optimism and faith in the goodness of life which evokes immediate response in the emotions of his readers.

(See map...ref no. 7) Following the death of his first wife, Mary Storer Potter in Rotterdam, Longfellow returned to Cambridge and became a lodger at Craigie House where he was to live for the rest of his life. The house was later given to him and his second wife Francis Appleton as a wedding present. In 1861 Francis tragically died after accidentally setting fire to her dress whilst melting wax to seal envelopes containing cuttings of her childrens' hair. In an attempt to douse the flames Longfellow received serious burns to his face. This made it difficult for him to shave and explains why he subsequently wore a beard.
