Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

by George Rice Carpenter

A volume in the Beacon Biographies of Eminent Americans series, this 1901 life of Longfellow was written with an admiring yet varied and precise pen. The book was described in a contemporary review in the "Nation" as "at once workmanlike and sympathetic. . . . It's chief virtues are clarity and good sense."
