Transcendentalist-inspired Brook Farm was an 1840s agrarian, socialist, and utopian community in Massachusetts. Among its residents was Nathaniel Hawthorne, who fictionalized the society in The Blithedale Romance (1852). John Codman joined in 1843 at the age of twenty-seven. In this 1894 memoir he remembers Brook Farm as a place of hope, with undercurrents of religious strife.
