Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
0-86492-406-2
In 1841, the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow heard the story of Acadian lovers, separated by the Expulsion and reunited at the end of their lives. He turned this simple tale into a long narrative poem, entitled Evangeline. The tragic story of Evangeline and Gabriel has captivated Acadians and non-Acadians ever since. Her desperate continent-wide search for her childhood sweetheart – taking her from the cypress groves of Louisiana to a forest mission in the Ozark Mountains – is one of the most affecting accounts of unfulfilled love ever written.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland Maine and became a professor at Harvard. He died in 1882.
