Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana was an American academic, activist, caretaker of the historic Longfellow House, and grandson of writers Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Richard Henry Dana Jr. He was a professor of literature, scholar of Soviet drama, socialist, and pacifist. Columbia University fired him in 1917 for opposing US participation in World War I. He was more or less openly gay, a fact that is generally accepted among historians and biographers.
