4.9/5 (15343 ratings)

Description:The eponymous character of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem, Évangéline, is an Acadian girl searching for her long-lost love, Gabriel, during the Expulsion of the Acadians (1755–1764). Originally published in 1847, Longfellow's poem throws into sharp relief a dark chapter of Canada's history, while also showcasing a strong female character that has left an indelible mark on generations of Acadians, French Canadians, Cajuns, and Creoles. Examining aspects both historical and literary that led to Évangéline's idolization across countries, cultures, and decades, sociologist Joseph Yvon Thériault presents three versions of the celebrated heroine: Évangéline the Acadian, Évangéline the Canadian, and Évangéline the American. The crux of his narrative seeks to understand if these three distinct identities might be merged, and whether they will survive the effects of globalization. Passionate and engaging, Évangéline is a postmodern study on the many interpretations of this literary icon, and the melting pot of cultures she has traversed and influenced.
