About My Library

The library at Blythewood consists largely of history, with a concentration on British (both domestic and imperial) history from the late medieval period to the Great War, and American history. This conforms largely to my educational background which is concentrated on British history from approximately 1760 to 1919. Professionally, I have devoted myself to researching and writing on the history of central New York.

The library, also, houses a fair amount of general European history, specifically German, French and Russian. Other topics at Blythewood include: European art, architecture (heavy on nineteenth century eastern American and Gothic), antiques, political philosophy, music, and gardening. There is also a growing collection of rare nineteenth century books.

Fiction in confined largely to classic nineteenth century European.

This collection has been assembled over the past forty years by me with a significant influx of books that were housed at Blythewood when I acquired the property.
