Loading... A Summer of Hummingbirds: Love, Art, and Scandal in the Intersecting…by Christopher Benfey
I enjoyed the meanderings of these acquaintances, discovering and searching out the paintings of Heade, insights into Emily Dickinson, and the unknown-to-me Florida and Brazil connections of some of these folks. Like another reviewer, I don't know who else would be interested, but I heartily recommend it to those fascinated by 19th century American culture and in the role of the Civil War in shifting the American intellectual climate. All of that being said, I found the book easy to read, quite clever and spritely as characters and their associations come to light! (  ) smilingturtle | Apr 30, 2010 |  Intriguing premise of weaving the works of these artists and writers -- I enjoyed discovering the work of Heade. (  ) LaurieLH | Sep 30, 2008 | This is a mildly interesting book if you are a Civil War buff and a Harriet Beecher Stowe fan, which I am. I know few people that would be interested in the book. I enjoyed the references of Emily Dickinson, Heade, Harriet Beecher Stowe to hummingbirds. (  ) Ellouise | Jul 28, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
