Beschreibung

Sketches of a New England Village: In the Last Century is a book written by Eliza Buckminster Lee and published in 1838. The book is a collection of essays and anecdotes that describe life in a small New England village during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Through her writing, Lee provides a detailed and intimate portrait of the people, customs, and daily life of the village. She covers topics such as education, religion, social customs, and the role of women in the community. Lee's writing is vivid and engaging, and she brings the village to life with her descriptions of the landscape, buildings, and people. The book is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into a bygone era and a way of life that has since disappeared. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of New England or the social and cultural history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

American poet and writer Eliza Buckminster Lee was a native of New England. She was born into a well-known and learned family in Framingham, Massachusetts. She wed the well-known politician and lawyer Joseph Warren Lee in 1810, and the two of them made Cambridge, Massachusetts, their home. Eliza Buckminster Lee was renowned for her contributions to literature, which included novels, essays, and poetry. She wrote both under her own name and the pseudonym "Gossamer," and many of the issues and sentiments of the day were captured in her writing. 1830 saw the publication of "Delusion, or The Witch of New England," one of her most well-known novels. The work tackles themes of superstition, panic, and the fallout from false accusations against the backdrop of the Salem witch trials. Despite not having the same level of recognition as some other works from the same era, "Delusion" is nonetheless a worthwhile addition to the literary analysis of historical events.
