New Edition of
Evangeline
Breathes New Life into Classic Work
FORT LAUDERDALE, March, 2005:
“This is the forest primeval.” So Longfellow begins Evangeline, his
first great work. It is a tribute to the memory of the Acadians, who were
forcibly removed from their peaceful home in Nova Scotia three centuries ago.
Françoise Paradis, Ed.D.s’ new edition of
Evangeline integrates the history of the Acadians, the history of
Longfellow, her own connection and emotions tied to the work, reprints of
lithographs of the period, and reprints of paintings by an Acadian artist to
flesh out his work and breathe new life into a classic work.
Praise for Evangeline:
“It is a story we recognize today, and one
which offers hope in the face of loss.” Rhea Côté Robbins, Author of
Wednesday’s Child, Founder and Director, Franco-American Women’s Institute
“François Paradis has done a great service
to the world of literature by reprinting Longfellow’s epic masterpiece…”
Dr. Roger Paradis, Acadian History Professor, University of Maine at Fort Kent
