Boston By Foot. American literature buffs will enjoy walking among the homes and haunts of the great Victorian writers - Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Alcott, James, Dickens, and Longfellow on this walking tour of literary Boston.

Boston was the most important literary center in the United States and home to many of America's greatest writers. Our literary tour highlights the homes and haunts of such great Victorians as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, Henry James, Charles Dickens, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Individually, they were writers and poets without peer. Collectively, they made Boston the epicenter of American Letters.
