HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow signs an autograph sentiment on a piece of
paper.
Autograph Sentiment signed: "Yours truly/Henry W. Longfellow",
4¼x2. American poet and linguist Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
graduated at 18 from Bowdoin College so adept at languages that he studied
European languages overseas for four years following his graduation in 1825. In
1829, he became the librarian and the Professor of Modern Languages at
Bowdoin until 1835. He joined Harvard's language staff following a second
European tour (1835-1836), during which he was particularly influenced by German
Romanticism. While at Harvard (1836-1854), Longfellow published his
first works, including the poetic volume, Voices in the Night (1839).
He attained fame eight years later with his narrative poem,
Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie (1847). After 1854, Longfellow devoted his
time to writing, producing such works as the poetic masterpiece, The Song
of Hiawatha (1855), and Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863), which
contained his famous poem, "Paul Revere's Ride". Wide acclamation enabled
Longfellow to be self- supporting, a rarity for a 19th century poet and writer.
