The New England Village by Joseph S Wood

We invent the past, Wood concludes, in our own image-as nineteenth-century villagers did quite literally and as suburban developers do today.
We think of the quaint village with its white-clapboard church surrounding a town green and a cluster of shops as the core image of the New England colonial communityBut in The New England Village Joseph S. Wood maintains that that icon was really a romantic 19th-century invention. Boston Globe
Joseph S. Wood is the provost and a professor of geography at the University of Southern Maine.
