About this book

The Hanging of the Crane is an 1874 narrative poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), here in a Michigan Historical Reprint Series facsimile. The poem celebrates the stages of a marriage and family life around the hearth, in the warm domestic vein of America's most popular nineteenth-century poet. The underlying text is long in the public domain.

History

About the author

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Longfellow was the most widely read poet in the English-speaking world in his own century and close to unread in the next, a fall worth explaining rather than simply repeating. He taught modern languages at Harvard, made the first American translation of Dante's Commedia, and wrote for a public that memorised verse as a matter of course.
