| Description: |
Presents a study of Longfellow's poetry. In chapters about his idea of authorship, his travels, and his translations, this book demonstrates that Longfellow saw literature as a transnational conversation breaking down social and linguistic barriers. It offers a view of his connection with audience. |
| Synopsis: |
The time has come to take another look at Longfellow, America's most popular poet. Christoph Irmscher overturns the modern prejudice against Longfellow as the mere purveyor of literary comfort food. Examining his unpublished papers alongside letters written by his fans at home and abroad, Irmscher offers a fresh view of the poet's connection with his audience. Irmscher demonstrates that Longfellow saw literature as a transnational conversation breaking down social and linguistic barriers. For Longfellow, the poet was less Emerson's \u0022liberating god\u0022 than a distributor of cultural goods democratically shared by authors and readers alike. Longfellow Redux is the first book-length study of Longfellow's poetry since 1966 and contains numerous illustrations, including previously unpublished pencil sketches by Longfellow himself. |
