Born February 27, 1807, in Portland, Maine, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow graduated from Bowdoin College in Brunswick (the alma mater of Union General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain) and began his teaching career there at the age of 22 as a professor of modern languages. After five years at Bowdoin, he accepted an appoinment at Harvard and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he spent much of the remainder of his life. Among his more noteworthy works were Hiawatha Evangeline The Children's Hour , and The Courtship of Miles Standish . He died on March 24, 1882, much loved by his countrymen and much admired and decorated by the rest of the world. Although the War years do not seem to have touched Longfellow personally (the tragedies in his life revolved around the loss of both of his wives), he was an ardent opponent of slavery and wrote several poems about the conflict. His status as the most famous and well-loved poet in mid-19th Century America nonetheless guaranteed his continued appreciation in the South during the War.

22. Poetry Pages - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Recollecting Longfellow Recollecting longfellow an introduction to a selection of poems by HenryWadsworth longfellow originally published in The Atlantic Monthly. http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/longfel/hwlindex.htm

Join the conversation in the More on poets and poetry in Atlantic Unbound and The Atlantic Monthly. From The Atlantic "Poetry and American Memory," by Robert Pinsky (October 1999) In an essay written during his term as poet laureate, Pinsky reflects on the contribution poems can make to the nation's "fragile, heroic enterprise of remembering." In The Atlantic' s early years, he was the poet of the age October 19, 2000 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow A selection of poems originally published in The Atlantic Monthly. Santa Filomena (November 1857) The Children's Hour (September 1860) Paul Revere's Ride (January 1861) Canto XXIII, from Three Cantos of Dante's Paradiso (January 1864) On Translating the Divina Commedia (December 1864; July, September, November, 1866) Vox Populi (May 1871) The Leap of Roushan Beg (January 1878) The Chamber Over the Gate (March 1879) N o American poet ever filled out the part quite like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. One glance at the Moses-like profile on the jacket of the new Library of America edition of his selected poems and prose confirms as much, a silver-hued photograph taken late in his life that makes it appear as if the domed brow and furling beard were already sculpted in marble. The stately cadence of his name alone reverberates with gravitas: trochee, trochee, dactyl, a name that all but demands to be chiseled on the base of a bust or high on the portico of a classical-revival library. And so it has been, time and again, even as his once-monumental repute has gradually eroded since his death in 1882.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Navigation Biography of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poems by 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. 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 andlandscape, the American Indian

Encyclopedia Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth, , American poet, b. Portland, Maine, grad. Bowdoin College, 1825. He wrote some of the most popular poems in American literature, in which he created a new body of romantic American legends. Descended from an established New England family, after college he spent the next three years in Europe, preparing himself for a professorship of modern languages at Bowdoin, where he taught from 1829 to 1835. After the death of his young wife in 1835, Longfellow traveled again to Europe, where he met Frances Appleton, who was to become his second wife after a long courtship. She was the model for the heroine of his prose romance, Hyperion (1839). From 1836 to 1854, Longfellow was professor of modern languages at Harvard, and during these years he became one of an intellectual triumvirate that included Oliver Wendell Holmes and James Russell Lowell. Although a sympathetic and ethical person, Longfellow was uninvolved in the compelling religious and social issues of his time; he did, however, display interest in the abolitionist cause. He achieved great fame with long narrative poems such as Evangeline The Song of Hiawatha The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858), and

Latest News Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The most popular American poet of the 19th century and a storyteller whose works are still cited, Longfellow is considered the first professional American poet. A number of his phrases, such as "ships that pass in the night", "the patter of little feet", and "I shot an arrow into the air", have become a common property. Among Longfellow's classmates at Bowdoin College was Nathaniel Hawthorne, whom he helped later reviewing warmly his Twice-Told Tales. Before leaving the college, Longfellow had planned to become a writer, and wrote to his father: "The fact is, I most eagerly aspire after future eminence in literature; my whole soul burns most ardently for it, and every earthly thought centres in it..." Longfellow's translation of Horace earned him a scholarship for further studies. After graduating in 1825 he travelled in Italy, France and Spain from 1826 to 1829, and returned to the United States to work as a professor and librarian in Bodwoin. He translated for his students a French grammar, and edited a collection of French proverbs and a small Spanish reader. In 1831 he married Mart Storer Potter, and made with her another journey to Europe, where he studied Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and the Dutch language and literature. On this trip he fell under the influence of German Romanticism.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) Contributing Editor: Allison Heisch Classroom Issues and Strategies If students have encountered Longfellow before taking a college course, the poems they know are not in this anthology: Evangeline The Song of Hiawatha The Courtship of Miles Standish . The Longfellow of this anthology is our late twentieth-century "revisionist" Longfellow, and except in poems such as "A Psalm of Life," he is almost unrecognizable as a writer who might have written those famous poems. If students have not actually read Longfellow, but merely heard of him (the typical case), they want to know why he's so famous. Longfellow is accessible, and the fact is that in almost any class there will be students who adore "A Psalm of Life" and students who cannot stand it. Such a division, of course, presents the teacher with an ideal point of departure. Although Longfellow is now very unfashionable, he is nevertheless an excellent vehicle for teaching about poetry either to the unlimited or the turned-off. Oddly enough, students in general respond to the story of his life almost more readily than to his poetry. That, therefore, is a good place to begin. They often ask about his fame. Some respond very positively to his sentimentalism, which can be tricky. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
