Hyperion: A Romance (1839) is a novel by Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow. Although he is known predominately as one of the
leading American poets of the nineteenth century, Longfellow began
his career writing moderately successful travelogues, stories, and
novels. Inspired by his travels throughout Europe, as well as by
the death of his first wife, Longfellow published Hyperion: A
Romance to lukewarm critical response. Although less significant
than his lyric and epic poetry, Hyperion captures an artist coming
into his own within a Romantic tradition flooded with major and
minor figures across the globe. Modeled partly on Goethe’s
Wilhelm Meister’s Lehrjahre (1796), Hyperion: A Romance is the
story of Paul Flemming, a young academic who travels to Germany
following the loss of a close friend. Taking in the sights, sounds,
folk tales, and music of the countryside, towns, and villages he
visits, Flemming muses on the position of humanity in the world and
the meaning of art in relation to nature. Filled with such lofty
thoughts, he is entirely unprepared to meet and fall in love with a
German woman. At a moment of growth and on the brink of reconciling
with his trauma, Flemming attempts to offer himself to another only
to find that life has a strange way of reflecting the mind of the
artist. Hyperion: A Romance is a fascinating blend of travel
narrative, philosophy, and bildungsroman from a writer with a
poet’s sense of the world. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow’s Hyperion: A Romance is a classic of American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
