Book Lovers’ New England: A Guide to Literary Landmarks

Moeschen (Boston and Beyond) invites readers to travel through New England on a lively tour of locations associated with iconic literary figures from each state in the region. Each chapter focuses on one state and features notable authors from that state, plus information about their lives and work, their homes, and local places that inspired them. Moeschen also incorporates information about the area around those literary locations, recommendations for visitors, and suggestions for scenic walks. Additional authors who were from each state or wrote books set in the state are included in “More to Love” sidebars, which will inspire state-based booklists and literary vacations. Readers learn about literary figures through locations where they lived or were inspired, from museums, estates, historic landmarks, and private homes to state parks, a poetry walk, historical societies, and Yale University. The book’s stellar layout makes it easy to read for fun and also to revisit while visiting the northeast. Moeschen includes full-color images of key locations in each state, picturesque landscapes, monuments, and the exteriors of private homes.
