Culture of New England : ウィキペディア英語版 | Culture of New England
New England has a shared heritage and culture primarily shaped by its indigenous peoples, early English colonists, and waves of immigration from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.〔McWilliams, John P. ''New Endland's Crises and Cultural Memory''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004. Available at: () . Retrieved 2010-07-22.〕 In contrast to other American regions, many of New England's earliest Puritan settlers came from eastern England, contributing to New England's distinctive accents, foods, customs, and social structures.〔David Hackett Fischer, ''Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America'' (Oxford University Press US, 1991) 30–50 ()〕 ==Definition==
As the oldest region of the United States and one of the first successful English settlements in the Americas, New England has a long and oft-contested cultural history. Joseph A. Conforti, a professor of American and New England Studies, writes that "New England has been a storied place. Its identity has been encoded in narratives about its past -- stories that have been continually revised in response to new interpretive needs generated by the transformations of regional life(helping ) New Englanders negotiate, traditionalize, and resist change." As such, New England culture is a complex combination of its overarching and popular Puritan English colonial narrative and its multiple and equally-important complementary and competing alternative narratives. Within modern New England, a cultural divide also exists between urban New Englanders living along the densely populated coastline, and rural New Englanders in western Massachusetts, northwestern and northeastern Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, where population density is low.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New England Population History )〕
