Here, too, are such famous poems as "The Village Blacksmith," "The Wreck of the Hesperus," "The Children's Hour," "Paul Revere's Ride," and other poems on subjects ranging from lost youth and Giotto's Tower to slavery and the building of a ship…CONTENTS:The Poetry CollectionsVoices of the NightJuvenile and Earlier PoemsBallads and Other PoemsPoems on SlaveryThe Belfry of Bruges and Other PoemsBirds of PassageSongs and SonnetsThe Spanish StudentEvangeline: A Tale of AcadieThe Seaside and the FiresideThe Song of HiawathaThe Courtship of Miles Standish and Other PoemsTales of a Wayside InnFlower-De-LuceDante’s Divine ComedyThe Masque of Pandora and Other PoemsKéramos and Other PoemsUltima ThuleIn the HarborChristus: A MysteryJudas MaccabæusMichel Angelo: A FragmentFragmentsTranslationsThe NovelsHyperion, a RomanceKavanaghThe Travel WritingOutre-Mer: A Pilgrimage Beyond the Sea

Auteur

  • Poète américain né en 1807 à Portland dans le Maine, mort à Cambridge, Massachussets, en 1882. Son oeuvre abondante participe à la naissance d'une nouvelle aventure littéraire nourrie de romantisme et d'histoire. Longfellow a traduit en anglais La Divine comédie de Dante. Évangéline, son grand poème épique puisant dans l'histoire acadienne, paraît en 1847. L'auteur y exalte l'Amérique et les valeurs humaines universelles. Entre le terroir et l'errance, cette oeuvre de Longfellow jette les bases d'une quête essentielle, celle d'une Amérique à la recherche de son identité.
