Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie, is an epic poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1847. The idea for the poem came from Longfellow's friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. The poem follows an Acadian girl named Evangeline and her search for her lost love Gabriel, set during the time of the Expulsion of the Acadians.
It was published in 1847 and became Longfellow's most famous work in his lifetime. Longfellow used dactylic hexameter, imitated from Greek and Latin classics, though the choice was criticized. It remains one of his most popular and enduring works.
The poem had a powerful effect in defining both Acadian history and identity in the nineteenth and twentieth century. More recent scholarship has revealed the historical errors in the poem and the complexity of the Expulsion and those involved, which the poem ignores.
