I love Concord, but even more I love its people: Emerson, Thoreau and the Alcotts. I have added a slideshow to the page devoted to my upcoming course on Louisa May Alcott. The slides accompany a lecture and discussion about what these Concord people contributed to life and literature in their time and ours. Video slide show.
The video links do not work in the slide show. Here they are:
- Bill Clinton reading The Concord Hymn
- Ralph Raldo Emerson’s poem Forbearance
- Ralph Waldo Emerson and Transcendentalism
- Bronson Alcott, How Like an Angel Came I Down
- Thoreau and Walden, Civil Disobedience
- Sorry, you can’t play the music at the present time.
