Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

was an American poet whose lyrical verse and memorable storytelling made him one of the most beloved literary figures of the nineteenth century. Born in Portland, Maine, then part of Massachusetts, he attended Bowdoin College and developed an early interest in literature and languages. After studying in Europe, he taught modern languages at Bowdoin and later at Harvard University. His wide knowledge of European literature influenced his writing, while his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, became an important gathering place for writers and intellectuals.
