Here are some of our favorite new arts links, and we add them to the resources already on our "Arts in Concord, MA" page. Of course, our 19th century writers cross over into other realms, so we have added some of these links to our History and Nature pages as well.

If you know of some other nifty arts links, please send them to us.

grapeWaldo & Henry: A Dialogue allows you to be the proverbal fly on the wall in an exchange between Emerson and Thoreau. Well, maybe a fly on the paper, as some of this material is taken from their actual writings.

grape Emerson: A Visionary Life is actually the main site to the above link, but worth listing on its own. Though it appears to be under construction, it has a great deal to choose from including some non-traditional resources.

grape Heat Wave in Concord is a poem by Robert Chute published in the on-line Benoit Poetry Journal.

grape See the ground-zero of Thoreau's inspiration. This rich Walden Pond State Reservation site is not an "official" site, but so much the better (it's actually a part of the Lincoln community Website).

grape This writer and Louisa May Alcott buff has a really wonderful, passionate and personal site devoted to LMA. Definately not ordinary!

grape The University of California at Santa Barbara Library let us know when their Henry David Thoreau site went up. It is part of a project devoted to collecting the lost or nearly-lost work of this author. Also, they have a part of the site devoted to Walden (not quite a lost or almost-lost work).

grapeFrom the Univeristy of Texas comes another site from a Concord devotee dedicated to the authors now of Sleepy Hollow: Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Alcott.

grapePart of the handsome "I Hear America Singing" Website devoted to profiles of artists, movements and ideas includes a biography of sculptor Daniel Chester French.

Resource Page Updates

We still keep extensive resource pages on a variety of subjects pertaining to our town (such as history, art, nature, visitors, etc) via the Concord Homepage.

Sometimes, we get lucky and people who have lovingly put together Websites which pertain to our town send us their URL's. But every so often we feel the need to go cast out on the search engines and find new links relating to Concord people and places.

This may sound simple to someone who has never tried this, but it is a HUGE job, with each well-focused search often returning hundreds or thousands of links to sift though.
