Hyperion by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Hyperion" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a prose romance published in 1839. Following a young American named Paul Flemming as he travels through Germany, the work explores themes of loss, love, and aesthetic philosophy. Flemming's journey was inspired by Longfellow's own grief after his first wife's death and his unsuccessful courtship of Frances Appleton. The novel blends travel narrative with German literature and cultural commentary, while serving as a thinly veiled autobiography
that would later complicate Longfellow's real-life romantic pursuits. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
