Description
Glimpses of Her Father's Glory: Deification and Divine Light in Longfellow's Evangeline by Timothy E. G. Bartel Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Evangeline has long been a beloved poem, inspiring generations with its heroine's epic quest across America. However, it was until recently overlooked by modernist scholars. This book seeks to rectify that oversight, exploring the theological sources and spiritual world of Evangeline. Drawing on original research in Longfellow's scholarly manuscripts, Bartel argues that the poet was inspired by the church fathers to craft a heroine who exemplifies ancient Christian doctrines of deification and divine light. By examining this poem through a new lens, Glimpses of Her Father's Glory returns Evangeline to its rightful place as a major poem of American literature. The ultimate purpose of human existence is a theme that underlies the entire work, making this book an important contribution to our understanding of Longfellow's masterpiece.
