New England Honors Its Poets At Century Milestones
The region marks a century since Emerson and Hawthorne born, with Whittier to follow. The Concord and Cambridge homes of Emerson and Hawthorne host visitors who burn incense at these literary shrines. Whittier's Amesbury and Danvers ties, Lowell in Cambridge, and Longfellow in Cambridge are celebrated through memory of works like Paul Revere’s Ride and Barefoot Boy.
