hat The Hiawatha reader, being Longfellow's "The song of Hiawatha," von Henry Wadsworth Longfellow besprochen

A beautiful but flawed poem.

There is no getting around Longfellow's bias, but the beauty of his poetry and the sympathy of his heart makes this worth reading. It is a lovely retelling of several Native myths, and I look forward to exploring the real thing.

"For those who believe every human heart is human."
