Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Feb. 27, 1807 - March 24, 1882)
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was enrolled in school at the age of three, and was highly advanced in reading and writing by the age of six. He became friend with Nathaniel Hawthorne in college, but did not begin publishing his own poetry until 1839. After working for many years as a college professor, he retired in 1854 and devoted himself entirely to his writing. He died in 1882, having survived his second wife by over twenty years. Two years after his death, he became the first American poet to have a bust of him placed in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner.
