Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie

Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie

Maine native Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem about "le Grand Dérangement" - the Acadian Expulsion - and one Acadian woman's rampant search for a love lost. This text also includes an introduction, a brief historical sketch of the Acadians, and a short biography of Longfellow. From the editor: "This is a special commemorative edition of the great poem to honor the Acadians as they celebrate the 400 year anniversary, in 2004, of the first Acadian settlement; remember the 250 year anniversary of the deportation in 2005; and accept the Queen's "acknowledgement of the facts of the deportation" and her proclamation of July 28 of every year as "A Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval," starting on July 28, 2005."
