À propos de l'auteur
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) is widely remembered as one of the foremost American poets of the 19th century. Born in Portland, Maine, which was then a part of Massachusetts, Longfellow showed an early interest in literature and language. He attended Bowdoin College alongside Nathaniel Hawthorne, graduating in 1825 before embarking on a European tour to prepare for a professorship in modern languages. Longfellow made significant contributions to American literature with his use of native themes and his adaptation of European methods. His works often combined romantic lyricism with historical and mythological subjects, as seen in 'The Complete Poems' – a compendium that reflects the diverse span of his poetic narratives (Longfellow, H. W., 'The Complete Poems'). A hallmark of Longfellow's style lies in his narrative poems like 'The Song of Hiawatha' and 'Evangeline', both noted for their rhythms and accessibility to a wide range of readers. In addition to his poetry, Longfellow also took an interest in the translation of Dante's 'Divine Comedy', bringing that monumental work to an American audience. His tenure at Harvard University further solidified his reputation as a respected academic and literary figure. Today, Longfellow's contributions to American letters are celebrated for their emotional depth, lyrical beauty, and enduring popularity.
