Longfellow: A Rediscovered Life

In the first biography of Longfellow in almost fifty years, Charles C. Calhoun seeks to solve a mystery: Why has one of America’s most famous writers fallen into oblivion? Longfellow: A Rediscovered Life takes us through a life story that reads like a Victorian family saga and reveals the man who introduced Americans to the literatures of other countries while creating a gallery of American icons – among them Paul Revere, John and Priscilla Alden, Miles Standish, the Village Blacksmith, Hiawatha, and Evangeline. Author: Charles C. Calhoun. Paperback; 317 pages.
