Ann Woodlief of the American Transcendentalism Website says “if you are a fan of any of the Transcendentalists, or even interested in the making of American thought and literature, then this is your book.”

Elissa Schappell of Vanity Fair gives A Journey into the Transcendentalist's New England the nod in June's "Hot Type" section.

Travel book company, Get Lost Travel Books, says "This is an intriguing addition to the ever growing genre of literary guidebooks. I imagine that traveling with this book would infuse the places mentioned within with meaning that you just wouldn’t get from reading a mere commemorative plaque."

Carl F Gauze of ink19 says "When standing in front of another ancient saltbox with a gift shop, this book can make the place come alive."

Chris Bergeron of Metro West Daily News says "Anyone planning a trip through the region's literary past should pack R. Todd Felton's informative A Journey into the Transcendentalists' New England"...

Jeanne Braham of New England Watershed magazine says "A Journey into Transcendentalists' New England immerses a reader in a time and place where intellectual debate was every bit as important as the Gross National Product."

The GoNOMAD Website says "the book charts the development of a movement that revolutionized American ideas about the artistic, spiritual, and natural worlds."

David Eisenthal in the Eisenthal Report says "Felton focuses on the Massachusetts communities of Cambridge,Concord, and Amherst. He writes vividly of - and photographs beautifully - the streets and landscapes from which arose the intellectual ferment that was Transcendentalism."
