The Poetical Works of Longfellow

LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth

The Poetical Works of Longfellow - ,

Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, 1913.

Oxford edition. 8vo. Full red crushed morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe, gilt rules to covers, gilt lettering and decoration to spine. Marbled endpapers, gilt inner dentelles. All edges gilt. A very good copy, fading to spine.

Includes the epic poem, The Song of Hiawatha, in which Longfellow depicts the life journey of a real historical Native American, chief of the Onondaga tribe. Using trochaic tetrameter, a form which he felt accurately represented the rhythms of Native American singing, Longfellow lyrically relates Hiawatha's magical childhood, his marriage to Minnehaha, and his attempts to bring peace and prosperity to his people.
