Boston is the capital city and most populous municipality of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. The largest city in New
England and one of the most historic cities in the country, Boston is a
nearly 400-year-old city as the ‘City of Neighbourhoods’ because of its
officially designated 23 neighbourhoods. Boston is the city where six of
the most literary minds- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, James Russell Lowell, and Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow- used to write in 19th century. They often
met and discussed their works at the Old Corner Bookstore that is now
called the ‘Cradle of American Literature.’
