This heartbreaking story of two Acadian lovers separated during the
expulsion of the French settlers from Nova Scotia has become one of
the most enduring, endearing, and popular poems in American
literature. In this edition, the story is enhanced by the new
insightful foreword by Henri-Dominique Paratte. Longfellow's epic
marks a stylistic shift from reflective lyrics and ballads to a
longer tale in verse. The English edition contains sixty-one pages
of notes and explanations, which make this an excellent study
guide. Readers will discover even more about the poem that will for
eternity move those "who believe in affection that hopes, and
endures, and is patient . . . who believe in the beauty and
strength of woman's devotion." The renowned Pamphile Le May French
translation is also available. Although not originally written in
French, the beautiful language is perfectly suited for the poem
and, in fact, would have been the mother tongue of Evangeline
herself.
