A. His family inspired him, mostly his mother. His mother encouraged his enthusiasm for reading and learning, introducing him to Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote. As a very private man, Longfellow did not believe in adding autobiographical elements to his poetry. Two exceptions are dedicated to the death of members of his family. "Resignation", written as a response to the death of his daughter Fanny in 1848, does not use first-person pronouns and is instead a generalized poem of mourning. The death of his second wife Frances, as biographer Charles Calhoun wrote, deeply affected Longfellow personally but "seemed not to touch his poetry, at least directly".

An ancester was involved in King Phillips War and was buried at what is known there as the Wasdsworh Monument. He stayed at the Red Horse Inn (now the Wayside Inn) where was inspired to write the Wayside tales.

what type of poetry does Henry Wadsworth Longfellow write?
Q. Im trying to write a paper on him and ive looked at his poems over and over and i cant tell what type of poetry he write lol please help. i also need to know what the topics of poetry he writes lol
Asked by Dan P - Fri Jan 2 14:42:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. He writes formal (not free) verse, usually in regular meters, about which he was very informed. His stanzas tend to be regular--have the same number of lines and same shape. His poems tend to be idealistic and to seek for the noble, rather than the debased and quotidian. Many of his best loved pieces--"Excelsior," "A Psalm of Life"--are didactic; they want to teach a less. However, they are not all that way: "My Lost Youth," one of his best is nostalgic and reflective.

A. Theme: cycle of life, death, rebirth One must understand that he lost two wives in his lifetime...the first was his first love, the second was burned before his very eyes...and as such, he was much atuned to death and loss. Although I've never seen any review that states exactly "why" he wrote this poem, I'd have to say it was the loss of both women, especially the latter.

A. revere rode to lexington, not concorde. the lamp signals were not directly connected to his ride. many of the american colonists were still pro-british at this point. paul revere was only one of several riders taking the news (though perhaps the most important). longfellow's poem is not really a piece of history, it is a piece of propaganda. think of it as the equivalent of a john wayne film.

A. It's somewhat of a dark theme in that Longfellow greatly admired the work of Geman poet Novalis who was know for his nocturnal musings, so to speak. Longfellow was fascinated by the night and while grieving for his wife took comfort in the darkness of night. Hymn to the Night expresses his dark, lonely days of grief by paying homage to the night.

Some contrasts and comparisons of Emily Dickinson,Walt Whitman and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?
Q. Mostly I need contrasts between the three of these but some comparisons would be great too...
Asked by LaSherrell W - Thu Jul 23 11:53:41 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The easiest way to think the contrasts is that Dickinson is intellectual, emotional, but detached, Longfellow is a historical, broad scope poet, and Whitman is embodied, physically feeling each word and causing physical feelings in you. As for comparisons, I'm not as clear on Longfellow, but the connection between Whitman and Dickinson are their unorthodoxies and individualities, and dealing with themes, homosexuality and the body for Whitman, and women and emotional disturbance for Dickinson, that were earlier frowned upon.
