Overview
"Hyperion" (1839) deals with the musings, love making, and dreams of a young poet, a pilgrim in Germany and Switzerland, no doubt representing a phase in Longfellow's youth. Beginning with a poet's grief, it preaches an optimistic lesson of courage and confidence in the future.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet; born at Portland, Me. , February 27, 1807. He graduated from Bowdoin College at eighteen, having Nathaniel Hawthorne and Franklin Pierce as classmates. Appointed shortly after to the professorship of modern languages there, he spent two years in European travel to fit himself before assuming it. In 1836 he became professors of modern languages and literature at Harvard, and held the chair for eighteen years. He died at his home in Cambridge, Mass., March 24, 1882. His chief volumes of poetry are: ?Voices of the Night? (1839), ?Ballads,? ?Spanish Student,? ?Evangeline,? ?The Golden Legend,? ?The Song of Hiawatha,? ?The Courtship of Miles Standish,? ? Tales of a Wayside Inn.' He also wrote in prose : ? Outre-Mer,? and the novels ? Hyperion ? and ? Kavanagh.'
