	Dana Gioia Online - Longfellow
		Longfellow never did so elsewhere in his poetry.) The implicit message of the line is clear: Paul Revere's achievements were of such singular importance that we must learn the date by heart and teach it to posterity.
		Longfellow was an immensely versatile poet who excelled at virtually every form and genre from the epic to the sonnet.
		Longfellow's galloping triple meters create a thrilling sense of speed, and the rhetorical device of stating the time of night when Revere enters each village adds a cumulative feeling of the rider's urgency.

	Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
		The Longfellow of this anthology is our late twentieth-century "revisionist" Longfellow, and except in poems such as "A Psalm of Life," he is almost unrecognizable as a writer who might have written those famous poems.
		Longfellow's poems are not only accessible in their meaning, but they are also highly regular in their form.
		There are many directions to travel here: First, locate Longfellow in New England with Emerson and the Transcendentalists; second, locate him as a (necessary?) predecessor to Whitman, and then compare their views of America; third, set his view of life and nature against that of native poets.

		Longfellow Redux is not only a splendid work of scholarship but a wonderfully readable reminder of a world of poetry that is gone forever and the popular poet who was the center of that world.

	Literary criticism by JD
		Longfellow was as respectable as it is possible for a man to be.
		Longfellow's epics are much more authentic than Mel Gibson's; though it is interesting that the portrait of American Indians as seen through white men's eyes in "Miles Standish" is so different from the one in the earlier Indian-viewpoint "Hiawatha".
		Longfellow will never again be as much loved, prized and memorized as he was in 1850, or even 1950; but when you read him at his best—the sonnets and short ballads, the translations, "The Building of the Ship", "A Psalm of Life"—you know that this is the real stuff—"the true, the blushful Hippocrene".
