Creating Portland - History and Place in Northern New England

A model of contemporary place studies, this work brings together essays by scholars on the history, geography, arts, literature, and built environment of Portland over the course of three centuries. It illuminates Portland within the larger context of New England regionalism and unified by a focus on Portland as a living, changing urban center.
