About the Author

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride",The Song of Hiawatha, and "Evangeline". He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri'sThe Divine Comedyand was one of the five members of the group known as the Fireside Poets.Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine, and studied at Bowdoin College. After spending time in Europe he became a professor at Bowdoin and, later, at Harvard College. His first major poetry collections wereVoices of the Night(1839) andBallads and Other Poems(1842). Longfellow retired from teaching in 1854 to focus on his writing, though he lived the remainder of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a former headquarters of George Washington.Longfellow predominantly wrote lyric poetry, known for its musicality, which often presented stories of mythology and legend. He became the most popular American poet of his day and also had success overseas. He has been criticized, however, for imitating European styles and writing specifically for the masses.
