Book excerpt: The New England Coast, stretching across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, is one of the classic landscapes of America. The craggy cliffs, shifting dunes, and numerous bays and narrow coves of the area echo with the sound of this country's history. This nation's drive for independence, its "Yankee Ingenuity," and its industrial might all took root on the rocky shores of New England. "New England Coast: A Photographic Tour" takes the reader on a pilgrimage to the center of the American experience. Through the lens of photographer Carol M. Highsmith, the shadows of the region's history are brought to vivid life. The journey begins in prosperous Connecticut and includes visits to Bridgeport and the city's unique Barnum Museum, as well as the world-renowned Yale University. Rhode Island, the nation's smallest state, is home to numerous Gilded Age mansions, including the Breakers, Cornelius Vanderbilt's resplendent summer "cottage" in Newport. On the Massachusetts coast, in addition to history- crammed Boston and Plymouth Rock, there are exclusive Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod, today's playgrounds of the rich, powerful, and famous. New Hampshire borders the sea for only eighteen miles where one finds Portsmouth, the home of numerous and charming colonial manors. The coast of Maine boasts of its delicious lobsters and Acadia National Park, one of the nation's most beautiful--and most visited--national wonders. These and more points of interest await the reader. With its wonderful photos and informative text, "New England: A Photographic Tour" makes an excellent gift for anyone who has visited or wishes to visit this singular region.

Book Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast

Download or read book Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast written by Samuel Adams Drake and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many respects the sea-coast of Maine is the most remarkable of New England. It is serrated with craggy projections, studded with harbors, seamed with inlets. Broad bays conduct to rivers of great volume that annually bear her forests down to the sea. Her shores are barricaded with islands, and her waters teem with the abundance of the seas. Seen on the map, it is a splintered, jagged, forbidding sea-board; beheld with the eye in a kindly season, its tawny headlands, green archipelagos, and inviting harbors, infolding sites recalling the earlier efforts at European colonization, combine in a wondrous degree to win the admiration of the man of science, of letters, or of leisure.'

Book Visions of Belonging

    Book Details:
  • Author : Julia B. Rosenbaum
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2006
  • ISBN : 9780801444708
  • Pages : 228 pages

Download or read book Visions of Belonging written by Julia B. Rosenbaum and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries depictions of New England flooded the American art scene. Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, and Julian Weir, and other well-known artists produced images of quaint villages, agricultural labor, scenic rural churches, and the distinctive New England landscape. Julia B. Rosenbaum asks why and how a range of artists--including Impressionist and Modernist painters and sculptors--and exhibitors fashioned this particular vision of New England in their work. Against the backdrop of industrialization, immigration, and persistent post-Civil War sectionalism, many Americans yearned for national unity and identity. As Rosenbaum finds, New England emerged as symbolic of cultural and spiritual achievement and democratic values that served as an example for the nation. By addressing the struggles for national unity, the book offers a new interpretation of turn-of-the-century American art. Ultimately, Visions of Belonging demonstrates how the local became so important to the national; how art was crucial to the formation of national identity; and how internal nation building takes place within the realm of culture, as well as politics. And even as later artists, such as Georgia O'Keeffe, challenged New England's cultural hegemony, the appeal of linking regional identity to national ideals continued in distinctive ways.Beautifully illustrated with color plates and almost sixty halftones, Visions of Belonging explores the interplay between art objects and the shaping of loyalties and identities in a formative phase of American culture. It will appeal not only to art historians but also to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century studies, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, American studies, New England history and culture, and American cultural and intellectual history.
