Synopsis
Hyperion is one of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's first published works. It was published in 1839, and is a prose romance that follows a young American named Paul Flemming as he travels through Germany. The journey of the character is partially inspired by the death of a friend, and the romance in the tale is based on Longfellow's own failed marriage proposals to his beloved.
