Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Chapter 7: the corner stone laid (search)
en, but it would form a valuable contribution to the record of his literary dawning. Judging from the evidence now given, the most probable hypothesis would seem to be that the two contributions which Longfellow meant to enumerate were the story called An Indian Summer in The Token for 1832, and a poem, not a story, in The Token for 1833. Even against this theory there is the objection to be made that the editor of The Token, Samuel G. Goodrich, in his Recollections of a Lifetime (New York, 1856), after mentioning Longfellow casually, at the very end of his list of writers, says of him, It is a curious fact that the latter, Longfellow, wrote prose, and at that period had shown neither a strong bias nor a particular talent for poetry. It is farther noticeable that in his index to this book, Mr. Goodrich does not find room for Longfellow's name at all. Goodrich's Recollections of a Lifetime, II. 263, 560. It is to be borne in mind that at the very time when Longfellow was writi

to the tribe by some of the children and grandchildren of the poet. This posthumous tribute to a work of genius is in itself so picturesque and interesting and has been so well described by Miss Alice Longfellow, who was present, that I have obtained her consent to reprint it in the Appendix to this volume. Longfellow's next poem reverted to hexameters once more, inasmuch as Evangeline had thoroughly outlived the early criticisms inspired by this meter. The theme had crossed his mind in 1856, and he had begun to treat it in dramatic form and verse, under the name it now bears; but after a year's delay he tried it again under the name of Priscilla, taking the name, possibly, from an attractive English Quakeress, Priscilla Green, whose sweet voice had charmed him in a public meeting, breaking now and then, as he says, into a kind of rhythmic charm in which the voice seemed floating up and down on wings. It has been thought that he transferred in some degree the personality of this

quite daring enough to give full spirit to the scene. Turning now to The New England Tragedies, we find that as far back as 1839, before he had conceived of Christus, he had thought of a drama on Cotton Mather. Then a suggestion came to him in 1856 from his German friend, Emanuel Vitalis Scherb, of whom he writes on March 16, 1856: Scherb wants me to write a poem on the Puritans and the Quakers. A good subject for a tragedy. On March 25 and 26 we find him looking over books on the subject,ks upon it in a fragmentary way in July and in November, and remarks, in the midst of it, that he has lying on his table more than sixty requests for autographs. As a background to all of this lie the peculiar excitements of that stormy summer of 1856, when his friend Sumner was struck down in the United States Senate and he himself, meeting with an accident, was lamed for weeks and was unable to go to Europe with his children as he had intended.
