Evangeline (Vintage)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Evangeline is one of the most enduring works of 19th‑century American poetry. First published in 1847, this sweeping narrative poem tells the poignant story of Evangeline Bellefontaine, a young Acadian woman separated from her beloved Gabriel during the tragic expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755.

Blending historical events with lyrical verse, Longfellow crafts a tale of love, loss, and unwavering faith. Evangeline’s lifelong search for Gabriel becomes a symbol of resilience and devotion, while the poem itself reflects themes of displacement, cultural identity, and the power of hope.

This vintage edition preserves the elegance of Longfellow’s language and the romantic spirit of the era, making it a treasured piece for collectors, literature enthusiasts, and classrooms exploring American Romanticism.
