The six states known as New England have been romanticized in art and literature for more than 200 years, creating a reality that is touched by myth. How has this myth-making affected the region? This presentation by Edie Clark, a longtime writer for "Yankee" magazine, will focus on the works of Robert Frost, Norman Rockwell, Wallace Nutting, and more recently, "Yankee" magazine. These and others have created such an impression of distinct reality, even the current inhabitants of the region have a hard time knowing whether what they see all around them is real or imagined.
