Product Information

In Cross of Snow , the result of more than twelve years of research, including access to never-before-examined letters, diaries, journals, notes, Nicholas Basbanes reveals the life, the times, the work--the soul--of the man who shaped the literature of a new nation with his countless poems, sonnets, stories, essays, translations, and whose renown was so wide-reaching that his deep friendships included Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Julia Ward Howe, and Oscar Wilde. Basbanes writes of the shaping of Longfellow's character, his huge body of work that included translations of numerous foreign works, among them, the first rendering into a complete edition by an American of Dante's Divine Comedy . We see Longfellow's two marriages, both happy and contented, each cut short by tragedy. His first to Mary Storer Potter that ended in the aftermath of a miscarriage, leaving Longfellow devastated. His second marriage to the brilliant Boston socialite--Fanny Appleton, after a three-year pursuit by Longfellow (his "fiery crucible," he called it), and his emergence as a literary force and a man of letters. A portrait of a bold artist, experimenter of poetic form and an innovative translator--the human being that he was, the times in which he lived, the people whose lives he touched, his monumental work and its place in his America and ours.

Reviews
"Inspired ... superbly sympathetic ... Longfellow is the perfect poet for our current moment ... Basbanes writes about him with generosity, gentleness, and grace."--Christoph Irmscher, Wall Street Journal "[Basbanes] seems to know everything there is to know about Longfellow ... [he] is a painstaking researcher, the kind who turns every page, as Robert Caro would say, and he has benefited from access to lots of material previously unavailable ... What [Longfellow] wanted was to be popular, to be read and understood by everyone, and he achieved that more than any American writer before or since. He was exactly the poet he wanted to be."--Charles McGrath, The New York Times "A valuable reassessment ... comprehensive, affectionate, and astute ... A revelatory exploration of Longfellow's life and art and how he became a 'dominant force in American Letters.'"-- Kirkus (starred review) "A sheer joy to read ... Basbanes has done the great American poet a great service ... essential."-- Library Journal (starred review) "Excellent ... captivating ... illuminating."-- Publishers Weekly ("best books" forecast) "Thoughtful, investigative ... Basbanes's fresh portrait should restore deserved respect for and interest in once-ubiquitous Longfellow."-- Booklist (starred review) "Basbanes tells the tale with diligence [and] affection."--James Marcus, The New Yorker "[To know] Longfellow's life and milieu, Basbanes is definitely your man."--Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "Marvelous ... captures the full scope of Longfellow's life."-- National Book Review
