"Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie" is a narrative poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that tells the tragic story of Evangeline Bellefontaine, a young Acadian woman. Set against the backdrop of the 18th-century Acadian expulsion, the tale follows Evangeline as she is separated from her beloved Gabriel during a British raid on their village. As Evangeline embarks on a long and arduous journey across North America in search of Gabriel, the poem explores themes of love, loss, and resilience. Her quest ultimately becomes a poignant commentary on the displacement and suffering of the Acadian people. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
