Early Findings

Famous Connecticut Authors

Summary Of Our Early Findings Relevant To The Goals

  • Our initial hour of research provided 22 famous Connecticut authors, along with the titles to one or more of their books.
  • As there was no direction given as to what defined whether they were "Connecticut authors" we assumed a very broad approach and included those that were born there, those that had moved there, those that died there, and those that had a residence there. If a different approach should have been taken, that would clearly have to be communicated to us in any reply.
  • We did not have enough time in the initial hour of research to provide a list of books with the plot being based mainly in Connecticut published in the last decade.
  • Please select one or more of the options provided in the proposed scoping section below.
