Product Description
The New England towns and villages that inspired the major figures of the Transcendentalism movement are presented by region in this travel guide that devotes a chapter to each town or village famous for its relationship to one or more of the Transcendentalists. Cambridge, where Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered his powerful speeches is highlighted, as is Walden, where Henry David Thoreau spent two years attuning himself to the rhythms of nature. Other chapters retrace the paths of major writers and poets of the period as well as the utopian communities of the time. This invaluable traveling companion offers street maps, historical illustrations, and narratives that create a vivid sense of New England in the 19th century.
Reader Reviews
This book and this series is one of the best intelligent series of expose's that I have ever seen. Critical photos and maps help you to navigate the areas these literay/artist's lived and worked as well as the level of verbage does not talk down to the reader, but elevates his knowledge of subject and makes it a stimulating experience as well. I can hardly wait to see the others. I hope they do one on the Pre-Raphaelites, and there are many other exciting subjects that this series could and should cover in their wonderful eclectic, intelligent format.
