Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie is a narrative poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published in 1848. The poem tells the story of Evangeline Bellefontaine, a young Acadian woman who is separated from her betrothed, Gabriel Lajeunesse, during the Great Expulsion of the Acadians in 1755. Evangeline spends years searching for Gabriel, traveling through the American colonies and encountering various obstacles and challenges along the way. Through Evangeline's journey, Longfellow explores themes of love, loss, and perseverance. He also offers a commentary on the treatment of the Acadian people by the British during the Great Expulsion, highlighting the injustices and hardships they faced. The poem is written in a flowing, lyrical style and features vivid descriptions of the landscapes and people Evangeline encounters on her journey. It is considered one of Longfellow's most famous works and has been adapted into various forms of media, including films, operas, and musical compositions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
