Reviews

Story of Evangeline
lives on with local author’s help
by Juliana L'Heureux
Françoise Paradis of Buxton
called several months ago to talk about her passion for Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic story “Evangeline.” Now she’s
published her own book with Evangeline as the central story. We
can softly say, “Hurray,” for her fresh-off-the-press book, complete
with historical information titled “Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie.”

Evangeline
retelling is a keepsake
by Juliana L'Heureux
A new publication of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow’s famous epic “Evangeline” will be out just in time
to celebrate the St. Croix 2004 anniversary marking 400 years
of French history in North America.
Françoise Paradis of Buxton relied
on her lifelong affection for Longfellow’s classic story to research
the original work first published in 1847. Her updated edition
of “Evangeline” will help commemorate the June 25 anniversary
celebration of the founding of the St. Croix Island settlement
located in eastern Maine off the coast of Calais by French explorers.

Evangeline
comes to life in a new edition of a classic poem
by Mary Jo Shafer
Evangeline has long been a symbol of the Acadian
experience. For many, the heroine of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's
poem embodies the characteristics of courage and devotion as she
struggles to find her lover, Gabriel, after the deportation of
the Acadians from Nova Scotia.
Longfellow's historic poem, Evangeline, A Tale
of Acadie is still studied, read, discussed and cherished by those
who appreciate the poem for its beauty. Some also see a snapshot
of their own history in Longfellow's words. [more]
