From the rear cover
Originally published in 1929 under the title The Romance of Evangeline, this novel by author and legendary screenwriter Finis Fox remarkably captures the essence of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic and makes both a handy complement to and a respectable adaptation of the original.
In his foreword to the original edition, the author promised that "while those acquainted with the original verse may find missing in this new version the lilting rhythm and beauty of the metered lines, they will be repaid in this new telling with infinitely more detail and incident than can be found in the poetry, and without too much digression from Longfellow's story."
Fox fulfilled his promise with this dramatic, moving, and memorable telling of Evangeline Bellefountaine and Gabriel Lajeunesse, the two Acadian lovers separated during the expulsion of the French settlers from Nova Scotia.
Also available are the original poem Evangeline, the renowned Pamphile Le May French translation Evang1/2line, and the book that many scholars believe inspired Longfellow, The Neutral French: The Exiles of Nova Scotia. All are published by Pelican.
