The Courtship of Miles Standish
The Courtship of Miles Standish is a narrative poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1858. Set in 1621 Plymouth Colony, it recounts a love triangle involving Mayflower passengers Miles Standish, Priscilla Mullins, and John Alden, drawing from Longfellow's family tradition. The poem's popularity in 19th-century America reflects its cultural significance, though scholars debate the historical accuracy of its romantic elements.
