This work features the complete collection of poetical works by the noted Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow wrote many lyric poems known for their musicality, and often presenting stories of mythology and legend. He became the most popular American poet of his day and had success overseas. He has been criticized by some, however, for imitating European styles and writing specifically for the masses.
