More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Acadian expulsion from Nova Scotia, this poignant tale follows two lovers torn apart by historical events. Longfellow's epic poem represents a significant shift in poetic form, transitioning from shorter lyrics to an expansive narrative in verse. Enhanced by a thoughtful foreword and extensive notes, this edition serves as an excellent study guide. The inclusion of a renowned French translation adds depth, connecting readers to the cultural roots of the story and the character's heritage.
