Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the evolution of The Wayside, the home of iconic American authors from the 1700s through the early 1900s. Originally a modest farmhouse, the landscape surrounding The Wayside was transformed by notable residents like Bronson Alcott and Nathaniel Hawthorne into grounds reflective of the transcendentalist movement. The author analyzes primary and secondary sources to document the evolution of the landscape, providing insight into the motivations and influences that shaped its design. The book delves into the interplay between the home's occupants, their literary works, and the surrounding landscape, exploring how the gardens, paths, and vistas contributed to the creative atmosphere of The Wayside. Through a comprehensive examination of the property's history, from its humble beginnings to its designation as a National Historic Landmark, this book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between literature, landscape design, and American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
