Concord, Mass.
The town of Concord is notable for its rich literary history becoming the center of American intellectual life in the mid 19th century. American author Henry James once called this small farming village "the biggest little place in America." What is it about this town that enthralled many of the greatest literary masters of the 19th century? Author Joseph L. Andrews has recently released "Literary Concord Uncovered" (published by Xlibris), a new book that describes the rich history of Concord, Mass., as it entwined with the lives and literary masterpieces of its resident authors.
"Literary Concord Uncovered" provides a wonderful introductory overview of Concord's classic authors and their creations. It reveals some of the secrets that enabled these brilliant American authors to write their pioneering works, which include Henry David Thoreau's "Walden," Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self Reliance,"Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women," Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" and Margaret Fuller's "Women in the Nineteenth Century."
"Literary Concord Uncovered" will help readers gain a deeper understanding and experience greater enjoyment from reading extraordinary and exciting books by many of Concord's - and America's - greatest authors.
