What are some books that would allow me to understand New England?

Moby-Dick

There are basically 0 good histories of the city of Worcester, MA, so there is no complete and worthwhile history of New England. Boston-centric historiography needs to be replaced with a discourse which reflects the importance of all of New England's components within a regional and national framework. Only then will New England become a 'City upon a Hill' and cease to be a 'Cess-pool beneath a Pile of Shit' (which it is today).

This.
Also, Evan Dara.

just go watch a dunkin donuts commercial

>Moby Dick
>Walden
>Ralph Waldo Emerson essays
>HP Lovecraft stories
>Robert Frost poems
>Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter
>Emily Dickinson's poetry

As a New Englander, this list will give you an idea of the kind of literature that upper crust New England WASPs produce. That's pretty much it. You won't actually 'understand' New England by reading this list.
If you want to understand New England, read The World Turned Upside Down by Christopher Hill, Weber's Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, and Nick Land's Dark Enlightenment.

The Pilgrim's Progress - John Bunyan

>Melville
>upper crust WASPs

sure he was from an aristocratic family but he lived most of his life in poverty and wrote about the humble and the wretched. also wtf is Land on there for he is fully old world Anglo to the point of believing the Irish are an inferior race

>sure he was from an aristocratic family
That's really all that matters, f a m.
>also wtf is Land on there for
The same reason Hill is on there (The World Turned Upside Down isn't about New England and most of PWE isn't, either)

>omensetter's luck
>ethan frome
>robert frost's poetry
>emerson/thoreau
>sarah orne jewett
>spoon river anthology

Are there any books about white leftists that are low-key very racist and bigoted? If so, that's your NE.

You mean National Socialism?

This is good, along with historical accounts of boston brahmin antics for pre 1900 stuff.

The anglo history is just barely preserved in northern new england, but even there it is fading rapidly. South new england's identity is wrapped in italian + irish diaspora. MA is more irish diaspora.

If you want a surface-level experience of modern boston/new england, something like good will hunting and departed for the 90s.

Also, if you can stomach him, Sam Hyde's videos of him driving around southern new england are pretty accurate. Everything is depressing, shitty, post-industrial, expensive down here in RI, CT, and south MA. Everyone hates each other.

Not really, everyone in NE are blue-pilled hicks.

New England is called New England for a reason spic mick

Donna Tartt's The Secret History

quite an enjoyable and fun read

Sot weed factor

That reason isn’t very good

He should not be regarded as having a monopoly on the setting. It would appear that largely due to his work, New England has that somewhat spooky reputation.

Holy cringe. Why are you so ass blasted?

>New England a cesspool

Confirmed for Southern Connecticut New Yorker or degenerate Hartford/Springfield hellscape resident.

Rest of the region is nice

No one good book.

They're all similar but different. Massachusetts is the main one and has Boston, the Witch Trials, and the Revolution. Shay's Rebellion and King Philip's War too.

Maine was part of Mass for awhile. It has the Acadian genocide and all sorts of haunted shit. Once you get away from the coast the population density is like Wyoming and 50% of "people" are skinwalkers.

CT has become a New York suburb. We should sell New Haven and down and make the Adirondacks part of New England.

Fun fact, even the Southern New England cities off the cost like Worcester have lower average winter low temperatures than Helsinki, Moscow, or St. Petersburg.

That's why everyone died when they moved here.

New England had the highest life expectancy and lowest infant mortality rate of the thirteen colonies

I did not imply that, and I would say that Lovecraft probably contributed more to the image of New England as spooky.

Not in the 1620s and 30s. You're talking a century later
