Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Matthew Wheaton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Our Old Home, Vol. 2" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This reflective work encapsulates the author’s observations and experiences while exploring England, particularly focusing on historical sites, landscapes, and cultural insights during his visits to locales like Blenheim and the homes of famous figures such as Robert Burns. The narrative emphasizes not just the sights, but also the emotional and psychological impressions left on Hawthorne as he contemplates the deeper meanings behind these places. The opening of the volume sets the tone for a leisurely exploration through the countryside, as Hawthorne, accompanied by his party, sets out on an excursion to Blenheim, the residence of the Duke of Marlborough. They navigate through quaint villages, noting the architecture and pastoral beauty, before arriving at the sprawling estate, steeped in history. Hawthorne describes the lush landscapes and significant landmarks they encounter, such as Rosamond’s Well and the Triumphal Pillar, while also reflecting on the gifts of nature and man that adorn Blenheim Park. Interlaced with observations on the Duke's legacy, his musings reveal a contemplative traveler grappling with the weight of history, fame, and the passage of time—elements that resonate throughout the entire volume.
