About the author
Born in Portland, Maine, in 1807, he became one of the best-known American poets of the 19th century. He studied at Bowdoin College and went on to teach modern languages at both Bowdoin and Harvard, building a strong reputation not only as a poet but also as a scholar and educator.
His poems were widely read for their clear style, strong rhythms, and gift for storytelling. Among his best-known works are Voices of the Night, Evangeline, The Song of Hiawatha, and "Paul Revere’s Ride." He also completed an important translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy, showing the breadth of his literary interests.
Longfellow was enormously popular in the United States and abroad during his lifetime, and his work helped give American poetry a broader public audience. He died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1882, but his poems remain some of the most familiar in American literature.
