Publisher's Synopsis
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882) was an American poet, educator, and translator. He grew up in the thriving coastal city of Portland, Maine, spending much of his summers at his grandfather's farm. His first poem was published in the Portland Gazette in 1820. Two years later, at the age of fifteen, he enrolled at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. Before graduating in 1825, he published nearly 40 poems in various newspapers and magazines. Following three years of travel through Europe, he returned to Bowdoin College to work as a professor. He was later employed at Harvard for several years before retiring in 1854. Paul Revere's Ride, The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline, are just three of a vast number of well-known poems written by Longfellow.
