Item Description
In "Honor in Concord: Seeking Spirit in Literary Concord," Cathryn McIntyre tells the story of her own life as a writer with a psychic sensibility who sets out to record the images from Concord's past that are always on her mind. What results is a fictional story told within the pages of memoir in which the writers of Concord's past, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott and Fuller are seen as characters living in Concord in present day. Within that fictional story are short vignettes that act as windows that open up into moments from their lives in the past. The movement from present to past and from fiction to memoir within the pages of this book reminds us that the here, the now and the who that we cling to is not so firm and solid as we once thought. We are more than our physical bodies and we live more than just this one life. There is no present or past. All events seem to play out simultaneously and there is synchronicity in all that occurs. Through this mix of reality and imagination we are reminded of what Emerson called the infinitude of the soul.
