Evangeline: A Novel

Originally published in 1929 under the title of The Romance of Evangeline, this novel by 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.
