"Hawthorne's Lenox", author slide lecture & book signing - August 07, 2008
Lenox - Author Cornelia Brooke Gilder will present a slide lecture on “Hawthorne’s Lenox”, drawn from her new book, “Hawthorne’s Lenox: The Tanglewood Circle” and will sign copies of her book at the Lenox Library on Saturday, August 16th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Through rare vintage photographs and engaging sketches of everyday life, the author reveals the lively and active social scene that greeted Nathaniel Hawthorne upon his arrival in Lenox.
Written as both a social and architectural history, “Hawthorne’s Lenox” offers stories of 14 early houses – some simple, some grand – and of the families who built, bought and inhabited them and of the society that they constructed between 1845 and 1865.
A lifelong Berkshire resident, Cornelia Brooke Gilder spent her childhood in Lenox and now resides in Tyringham. A well known architectural historian and preservationist, her last book, “Houses of the Berkshires: 1870-1930” was published in 2006. Her co-author, Julia Conklin Peters was a librarian at the Lenox Library for over 40 years and was the unofficial historian of the community until her death in 2007.
A reception will follow with the opportunity to meet the author and purchase a copy of “Hawthorne’s Lenox: The Tanglewood Circle”.
The program is free and open to the public. |
