About the author
Born in Portland, Maine, in 1807, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow became one of the best-known American poets of the 19th century. He studied at Bowdoin College, later taught modern languages at both Bowdoin and Harvard, and built a reputation as a writer whose poems were clear, musical, and widely loved.
His best-known works include Evangeline, The Song of Hiawatha, and "Paul Revere's Ride." He was also an important translator, completing the first American translation of Dante's Divine Comedy. During his lifetime, his popularity reached far beyond the United States, making him one of the first American writers to become an international literary celebrity.
Longfellow's poems often blend storytelling, history, and emotion in a way that still feels accessible today. Though fashions in poetry changed after his death in 1882, his work remains a major part of American literary history, and his gift for memorable rhythm and narrative continues to draw readers in.
