Hyperion (Longfellow novel)
''Hyperion: A Romance'' is one of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's earliest works, published in 1839. It is a prose romance which was published alongside his first volume of poems, ''Voices of the Night''.
==Overview==
''Hyperion'' follows a young American protagonist named Paul Flemming as he travels through Germany. The character's wandering is partially inspired by the death of a friend. The author had also recently lost someone close to him. Longfellow's first wife, Mary Storer Potter, died in Rotterdam in the Netherlands after a miscarriage in 1836; Longfellow was deeply saddened by her death and noted in his diary: "All day I am weary and sad ... and at night I cry myself to sleep like a child."〔Gioia, Dana. "Longfellow in the Aftermath of Modernism". ''The Columbia History of American Poetry'', edited by Jay Parini. Columbia University Press, 1993: 72. ISBN 0-231-07836-6〕
''Hyperion'' was inspired in part by his trips to Europe〔McFarland, Philip. ''Hawthorne in Concord''. New York: Grove Press, 2004: 59. ISBN 0-8021-1776-7〕 as well as his then-unsuccessful courtship of Frances Appleton, daughter of businessman Nathan Appleton.〔Sullivan, Wilson. ''New England Men of Letters''. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1972: 192. ISBN 0-02-788680-8〕 In the book, Flemming falls in love with an Englishwoman, Mary Ashburton, who rejects him.〔Calhoun, Charles C. ''Longfellow: A Rediscovered Life''. Boston: Beacon Press, 2004: 143. ISBN 0-8070-7026-2〕
