“Few poets have run the gamut from the world’s devotion to critical dismissal as completely as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He is due for a thorough reappraisal… Andrew Hilen’s meticulously edited The Letters of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow represents…[an] effort to establish the man instead of the myth, the instinctive poet rather than the too frequently facile poetaster.”—Louis Untermeyer, Saturday Review
