Description: Affiliated with the Department of English and American Language and Literature.
Department of English and American Language and Literature Barker Center, Harvard University Founded in 1994 at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and directed by Marc Shell and Werner Sollors, the Longfellow Institute was designed to support the study of non-English writings in what is now the United States and to reexamine the English-language tradition in the context of American multilingualism. Named after Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the polyglot nineteenth-century poet who, in his translations and academic work, helped to develop literary study across linguistic boundaries, the Institute has set itself the task to identify, and to bring back as the subject of study, the multitudes of culturally fascinating, historically important, or aesthetically outstanding American texts that were written in many languages, ranging, for example, from works in indigenous Amerindian languages, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Yiddish, Hungarian, Chinese, and Japanese, to Arabic and French texts by African Americans.
