The Flavor of a Time and Place
7. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This book gives the reader a vivid sense of life in another time and place--in this case the mid-nineteenth century in a rather special part of New England. You are told how Lenox, though hardly more than a village, became the center of an extraordinary convergence of money, art, and intellectual power.
The story is presented through histories of more than a dozen prominent families and of the houses they built--houses that, while less grand than those built in Lenox later in the century, were notable for taste and style.
Among memorable figures of this "Tanglewood Circle" were the novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick, whose books drew admirers to Lenox from all over the world; the "boisterous and burly" Henry Ward Beecher, a minister famed nationally for his rousing sermons; and the legendary English actress Fanny Kemble who gave Shakespearian readings at the courthouse and was known for her daredevil riding exploits.
The lead actor on the Lenox scene was Nathaniel Hawthorne, who lived for a year and a half in a little Red House on the Tappan family's Tanglewood property. During this time he wrote two of his classics, The House of Seven Gables and The Wonder Book, to which he would later add Tanglewood Tales. His stay was not long, but he left the permanent stamp of his strange, reclusive personality and fascinating imagination on the town's history.

Hawthorne's Lenox

I enjoyed this book so much. The writing is fresh and intimate. The style,with the pile on adjectives is a pleasure to read.
Every civilized place deserves such a book!
