Rreth autorit
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) remains one of the most renowned poets in American literary history. Born in Portland, Maine, Longfellow was a multilingual scholar and a cultural bridge between Europe and America. His poetic prowess was evident early on, and he nurtured his talents through education—first at Bowdoin College and later at Harvard, where he taught as a professor of modern languages. Longfellow's literary style is characterized by his lyrical approach, universal themes, and a rhythm that echoed the classical traditions yet felt distinctly American. 'Poems on Slavery' (1842) exemplifies Longfellow's deep moral concern and his commitment to abolitionist causes; its verses resonate with empathy and a powerful call for emancipation. This collection, among others, showcases Longfellow's rare ability to combine activism with art, a quality that has solidified his legacy as a poet of both the heart and conscience. His other notable works include 'The Song of Hiawatha,' 'Evangeline,' and 'Paul Revere's Ride,' which further cement his place in the pantheon of American letters. Longfellow's impact on poetry is indelible, introducing countless readers to the beauty of the form while simultaneously appealing to their sense of ethical responsibility.
