Produktbeschreibung
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a biography written by author Thomas Wentworth Higginson. This work is a fascinating exploration of great American poet Henry Longfellow, who died in 1882 at the age of seventy-five, and is a fascinating exploration of the man. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was unique for an American poet in that his work was primarily lyric poems, a style more commonly pursued by Europeans. Other achievements include being the first person to translate Dante Alighieri´s Divina Commedia into English. Higginson´s examination begins with an overview of the poet´s life and career, and the author´s argument for Longfellow´s inclusion in the canon of great American artists. From there, the book begins a detailed examination of the life of Longfellow. Higginson relies heavily on a previous biography of the poet written by Longfellow´s brother, as well as series of personal letters written to Longfellow´s first wife. While Higginson includes a specific chapter on Longellow´s work, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is primarily the story of the man. Higginson´s biography of Longfellow is a competent and measured book. Much research has clearly gone into reconstructing the major events of Longfellow´s life, and the reader will surely gain a deeper understanding of the man, and subsequently his work, as a result of Higginson´s words. This book is a light read which mostly steers clear of any criticism of the man. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a worthy biography of a great American artist. At the time of its publication, it was likely the most detailed account of Longfellow´s life that existed, and may still be today. Readers interested in the work of Longfellow, or anybody who enjoys a good biography, should consider adding this work to their library.
