Fine writing from a fertile literary region.,

This review is from: The Berkshire Reader: Writings from New England's Secluded Paradise (Paperback)
It is hard to imagine another region that can boast more consistently interesting writers per square foot than the beautiful Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts.The present volume has gathered many, from the 1600's to our own time, always with an eye for local color and the good read. Along the way we meet some interesting residents and visitors (Francis Parkman, Charles Dickens), sample some old favorites, Hawthorne, Melville, and Wharton, among others, and are pleased to become acquainted with the fine writing of Paul Metcalf and Don Gifford. Altogether a delight for anyone who cherishes good reading, and especially of course for those who love the area. (The "score" rating is an unfortunately ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.) |
