![]() Longfellow was more at home in Evangeline (1847), a narrative poem that reached almost every literate home in the United States. The antislavery sentiments he expressed in Poems on Slavery that same year, however, lacked the humanity and power of John Greenleaf Whittier’s denunciations on the same theme. In 1842 his Ballads and Other Poems, containing such favourites as “The Wreck of the Hesperus” and “The Village Blacksmith,” swept the nation. That same year Longfellow published Hyperion, a romantic novel idealizing his European travels. In 1839 he published Voices of the Night, which contained the poems “Hymn to the Night,” “The Psalm of Life,” and “The Light of the Stars” and achieved immediate popularity. His travel sketches, Outre-Mer (1835), did not succeed. ![]() ![]() In 1836 Longfellow returned to Harvard and settled in the famous Craigie House, which was later given to him as a wedding present when he remarried in 1843. The Song of Hiawatha, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” and other poetry In 1835, saddened by the death of his first wife, whom he had married in 1831, he settled at Heidelberg, where he fell under the influence of German Romanticism. On this trip he visited England, Sweden, and the Netherlands. When he was offered a professorship at Harvard, with another opportunity to go abroad, he accepted and set forth for Germany in 1835. He wrote and edited textbooks, translated poetry and prose, and wrote essays on French, Spanish, and Italian literature, but he felt isolated. In 1829 he returned to the United States to be a professor and librarian at Bowdoin. On the Continent he learned French, Spanish, and Italian but refused to settle down to a regimen of scholarship at any university.
