What drew Nathaniel Hawthorne to a remote village deep in the
Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts in 1850? Slip into the
fascinating social scene he encountered in the drawing rooms and on
the croquet lawns of Lenox's country retreats. Here, under the
benevolent spell of the Sedgwick family, the separate worlds of
high-minded Bostonians and high-powered New Yorkers were stitched
together by conversation, recreation and even marriage. Nurturing
the lively exchange of ideas on everything from art to abolition,
Lenox's cottages played host to a community that enlightened a
nation. Luminaries such as Caroline Sturgis Tappan and Oliver
Wendell Holmes resume their vibrant lives through the rare
photographs and engaging sketches of everyday life in "Hawthorne's
Lenox: The Tanglewood Circle," which also includes a delightful
retrospective visit from Henry James and Edith Wharton.
