Beskrivning
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poems are filled with powerful heroines, from Evangeline, the exiled wanderer, to Vittoria Colonna, the aging genius of the Italian renaissance. In The Heroines of Henry Longfellow: Domestic, Defiant, Divine, Timothy E. G. Bartel provides a survey of Longfellow’s major heroines, placing them in the context of Longfellow’s body of work and the poet’s interests in theology, politics, and history. Though Longfellow’s heroines have sometimes been dismissed as mere domestic caricatures, Bartel argues that Longfellow’s heroines are nothing of the sort. Instead, they provide us with unique pictures of how one’s individual talents and desires can be harmonized with the Christian ideals of communal justice, ethical living, and ultimate union with the Divine.

Recensioner i media

Although Bartel ends Longfellow’s Heroines with a touch of Orthodox theology, few contemporary theologians, Eastern or Western, would disagree about the value of the virtues that he highlights. In general, Longfellow’s Heroines could be a to-the-point reference book for classes on theology in literature and for academic journal articles. To me, having particularly studied nineteenth-century American fiction, the domestic-sphere argument seems most important. To the general reader, Longfellow’s creative responses to history and theology might prove the most interesting.
