Transcendentalism was born in Concord. Emerson philosophized about our connection to nature, Thoreau went to the wood to live deliberately, Fuller reimagined a new social hierarchy, and Alcott translated its individualism into four March sisters.
Their influence is still felt today. “The lure of the Transcendentalists, the famous forests surrounding Concord, and the history of dead—but lingering—writers had drawn Hazel to the sleepy town on the outskirts of Boston…” So begin’s The Forest Becomes Her, Julie Carrick Dalton’s new novel about three women seeking to save the land, and themselves.
In this conversation, we’ll explore the Transcendentalist influences on these fictional characters, the rich literary setting of Concord, and how fiction can raise awareness around climate crisis.
Your ticket includes:
an author conversation and Q&A
guided small group discussion
snacks, drinks, and desserts
a signature literary cocktail
conversation and connection
a curated selection of books to purchase
