Hiawatha and The Courtship of Miles Standish, first English editions

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1855 and 1858

LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). The Song of Hiawatha. London: David Bogue, 1855 [And:] The Courtship of Miles Standish, and other Poems. London: W. Kent & Co, 1858.



True first editions of Longfellow's most iconic poems, including "his first bestseller," Hiawatha (Grolier). Second issue of Miles Standish in cloth. Longfellow's twin epics of Ojibwe legend and Puritan Romance were not only popular in his home country; they fueled the image of America in the imaginations of those across the Atlantic as well. Both of these volumes have early ownership inscriptions of women. For more on each work, see the first American editions also in this sale. BAL 12111; Grolier American 66 (first American) and BAL 12121.



Two volumes, octavo. Hiawatha with 24pp. publisher's ads at end (spotting); Miles Standish with frontispiece and 40pp. ads dated January 1858. Original blindstamped purple cloth, Hiawatha with ticket of Kerby & Son, Oxford Street, spines gilt (spines and edges sunned); together in modern box. Provenance: Ann Mair Goodenough (inscription dated November 1855 in Hiawatha) – Charlotte Mary James (gift inscription from her mother dated 28 September 1858 in Miles Standish)
