Hyperion: A Romance is one of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's earliest works, published in 1839. It is a prose romance which was published alongside his first volume of poems, Voices of the Night.

Hyperion follows a young American protagonist named Paul Flemming as he travels through Germany. The character's wandering is partially inspired by the death of a friend. The author had also recently lost someone close to him. Longfellow's first wife, Mary Storer Potter, died in Rotterdam in the Netherlands after a miscarriage in 1836; Longfellow was deeply saddened by her death and noted in his diary: "All day I am weary and sad ... and at night I cry myself to sleep like a child."[1]
Hyperion was inspired in part by his trips to Europe[2] as well as his then-unsuccessful courtship of Frances Appleton, daughter of businessman Nathan Appleton.[3] In the book, Flemming falls in love with an Englishwoman, Mary Ashburton, who rejects him.[4
