Evangeline with Notes and Plan of Study Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangeline Produced by John Hagerson, Kevin Handy, S.R.Ellison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Evangeline" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a narrative poem written in the mid-19th century. This famous work tells the story of the heart-wrenching separation of a young Acadian woman named Evangeline from her beloved, Gabriel, during the expulsion of the Acadians by the British. It explores themes of love, longing, and the devastation caused by war. The beginning of "Evangeline" sets the stage in the idyllic village of Grand-Pré, situated in Acadia. The poem introduces the historical context of the Acadian people's lives and the foreground of Evangeline's peaceful existence with her father, Benedict, and her connection with Gabriel. As the warmth of their community life is depicted, the tranquil setting quickly turns dark with the arrival of British soldiers, heralding the forced deportation of the Acadians. Emotion runs high as Evangeline and Gabriel are separated amidst chaos, setting the somber tone for the unfolding tale of loss, resilience, and hope that encapsulates their enduring love despite the tragic trials they face.
