New England - the words alone evoke a strong sense of literary identity. Not only is it the home of so many influential writers (including Hawthorne, Longfellow, Stowe, Thoreau, Dickinson, Alcott and Wharton, among others), it is the place where great literature is born and lives with each turn of the page.
