Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

||||||
| During his lifetime, 19th-century writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ranked as one of the most popular American poets. While Longfellow’s contemporaries praised his poetry for its clarity and simplicity, many modern critics fault his lines for their lack of originality. One of Longfellow’s most lasting contributions, however, may have been the role he played in popularizing poetry in America. | ||||||
