Description

Leather Binding

The Sixth edition of this poem, published the same year as the first. The Song of Hiawatha is an epic in trochaic tetrameter. The work follows the adventures of a fictional Objiwe warrior named Hiawatha and the tragedy of his love for Minnehaha, a Dakota woman. The work features Native American characters and is often regarded as an original work of American Romantic literature. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was one of the five New England 'Fireside Poets.' He was the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
