American Bloomsbury by Susan Cheever

American Bloomsbury: Alcott, Emerson, Fuller, Hawthorne, and Thoreau: Their Lives, Their Loves, Their Work

"If . . . you can take your literary history with a pinch of irreverent salt, then American Bloomsbury is an easily digested retelling of the oft-told story of Massachusetts' own loosely organized, vastly influential Transcendentalists" (Boston Globe 12.31.06). Other reviews: CSMonitor 12.19.06; On Point interview 1.24.07. (Simon & Schuster, 2007; Amazon)
