Summary: "The Courtship of Miles Standish" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a narrative poem written in the mid-19th century. This romantic tale is set during the early days of the Plymouth Colony and revolves around the love lives and relationships of the Pilgrims, particularly focusing on the characters of Miles Standish, a captain, and John Alden, his friend, as they navigate the complexities of love and friendship in their new world. At the start of the poem, we meet Miles Standish, a short but strong captain, who is preoccupied with thoughts of a long-lost love, Rose Standish, who has been buried near Plymouth. Pondering his past, he ultimately expresses a desire to marry the beautiful Priscilla, hoping to have John Alden, who is young, handsome, and adept with words, deliver his message of courtship to her. However, the themes of love, duty, and the tension between friendship and romantic affection begin to unfold as Alden grapples with his own feelings for Priscilla, leading to complications that set the stage for the unfolding drama within this vibrant Puritan setting.
