Voice of the Tide
Voice of the Tide
By Leonard Miele
Katharine Lee Bates, the author of “America the Beautiful” and the most honored native-born resident of Falmouth, Massachusetts, lived on Cape Cod from 1859 to 1871. In Voice of the Tide: The Cape Cod Heritage of Katharine Lee Bates, readers get to know the Falmouth of her youth and how this “little strip of silver shore” influenced her life and writing. Katharine described herself at this time as “a shy, near-sighted child, always hiding away with a book.” By the time she was eleven years old, she was a precocious, erudite child whose favorite writers were Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
With the publication of Voice of the Tide, Leonard Miele introduces Katharine Lee Bates to a new generation of readers. He provides an insightful discussion of her childhood in Falmouth, her earliest writings as a student at the Village Grammar School, and the nostalgic Cape Cod poems she was inspired to write as an adult.
