d after another year spentin Europe in the study of Scandinavian lan-guages and literature he entered on a pro-fessorship which was to last, with interrup-tions, for seventeen years. Before his returnto America, however, he lost his wife, whodied at Rotterdam in 1835. For a period ofsix years he remained at Harvard, living inthe old Craigie house, where the prose ro-mance, Hyperion, was published (1839), andthe Voices of the Night (1839), Poems onSlavery (1842) and the Spanish Student, adrama in three acts (1843), were written.Then, for a third time, he went abroad. Re-turning, he resumed his professorship andretained it until 1854. His remaining yearswere quiet, contemplative and uneventful,except for the one tragedy which broke theirserenity—the death of his second wife, whowas burned before his eyes in their Cam-bridge home. In 1847 Evangeline was published; in1855, The Song of Hiawatha; and in 1858,The Courtship of Miles Standish, all thor-oughly American in theme and sentiment.
