Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry W. Longfellow: Biography, Anecdote, Letters, Criticism It is the part of a host who is entertaining a distinguished company to keep himself in the background, and see that his guests are properly introduced and grouped. What is true of a social gathering is true of such a work as the present: it is eclectic in character, a mosaic of the choicest thoughts of many minds, - for the most part digested and incorporated into a continuous narrative by one whose own personality is kept as much as possible out of view, - thus fully justifying the pleasant and characteristic remark of Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Your book," he said, "is like a huckleberry-pie, containing a great many good huckleberries and very little batter." Materials for a biography of Longfellow were abundant and rich. Much had been written about him previous to his death; and, after that event, reminiscences, anecdotes, and reviews appeared in profusion, both at home and abroad. Whatever was of permanent value and interest in this published material has been culled for the present work, due credit being given to the authors in every case. But scattered throughout the volume are very many anecdotes and reminiscences now for the first time published.
