Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is an epic poem published in 1847. It follows Evangeline Bellefontaine, an Acadian girl separated from her beloved Gabriel during the British expulsion of Acadians from Nova Scotia. The poem traces her years-long journey across America searching for him, coming heartbreakingly close without knowing. Written in dactylic hexameter imitating classical Greek and Latin verse, it became Longfellow's most famous work and powerfully shaped Acadian identity for generations.
