Longfellow's Evangeline (1905)

Set against the backdrop of the 1755 Acadian deportation, the narrative poem follows Evangeline's poignant quest to reunite with her lost love, Gabriel. As she journeys across North America, from Louisiana to the Great Plains, Evangeline encounters diverse characters and faces a spectrum of emotions. Celebrated for its romanticism and rich depiction of Acadian culture, the poem explores profound themes of love, loss, and perseverance. This 1905 edition includes illustrations by F.O.C. Darley and serves as a valuable preservation of Longfellow's classic work.
