New Hampshire Literature

In the early 1800s, many short stories and novels were published that depicted American society and the exploration of the American landscape. This development coincide with the Romantic movement, which valued the wildness of nature over unnatural, human order. Pictured here is Alice Brown's Meadow Grass, which was written in 1895 and was a collection of short stories about life in the New Hampshire countryside.
