Set against the backdrop of the Expulsion of the Acadians, the poem tells the poignant story of Evangeline, who embarks on a quest to find her lost love, Gabriel. Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Longfellow employs dactylic hexameter to echo classical poetry, despite facing criticism for this choice. This work not only became Longfellow's most celebrated piece during his lifetime but continues to resonate with readers today, showcasing themes of love, loss, and resilience.
