About the Author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in 1807 in Portland, Maine, and he became a professor of modern languages at Harvard. His most famous narrative poems include The Song of Hiawatha, Paul Reveres Ride, "The Village Blacksmith," "The Wreck of the Hesperus." From his friend Nathaniel Hawthorne, Longfellow got a brief outline of a story from which he composed one of his most favorite poems, 'Evangeline'. The original story had Evangeline wandering about New England in search of her bridegroom. One of the first poets to take the landscape and stories of North America as his subjects, Longfellow became immensely popular all over the world, and he was the first American commemorated in the Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey. He was given honorary degrees at the great universities of Oxford and Cambridge, invited to Windsor by Queen Victoria, and called by request upon the Prince of Wales. He was also chosen a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and of the Spanish Academy. He died on March 24, 1882.

Chopped out the forest primeval By Hume Inexplicably, this Hard Press edition does not start off the tale of Evangeline with the classic opening 19 lines of Longfellow's introduction -- a baffling lapse, because these lines are probably the most famous in this historically based love story: "This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks/ Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of old..." (lines 1-3) etc. This opening sets the scene, and is critical because Longfellow comes full circle to this image at the end of the poem (line 1390): "Still stands the forest primeval; but under the shade of its branches stand another race, with other customs and language", etc.I took a chance on this edition because I expected there to be a critical preface in the volume, but this edition is simply the poem itself (well, most of it) and nothing else; no introductions ... no critical insights ... no historical subtext ... no literary review ... no numbering of lines.So four stars to Longfellow for his brave experiment in Homeric hexameter, which I believe sounds better to the ear of a reader today than it did to the public in Longfellow's time, who preferred the familiar iambic pentameter. Four stars to Longfellow, one star to Hard Press for the weird omission of the opening lines of the poem.

Lovely....and quite sad really. I believe she saw her self in this story. My mother is gone now and I'm glad I had this opportunity. Thank you Kindle.
