Sobre este artículo
Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. First printing, octavo size, 148 pp. Three groupings of poems: seven "By the Seaside", thirteen "By the Fireside", the book also includes two translations, "The Blind Girl of Castel-Cuille" and "A Christmas Carol", plus a Notes section at the end. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was one of the most revered and popular poets of his day, earning almost instant recognition with his early poems both in America and abroad, and remaining beloved throughout his life. Upon his death, he became the first non-British writer for whom a commemorative sculpted bust was placed in Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey in London; he remains the only American poet represented with a bust (n. b., per Wiki).
