The 19th century literary flowering on Beacon Hill provided strong roots for the growth of 20th century literature. Even as the pen gave way to the typewriter, the literary spirit continued in such notables as poets Robert Frost, Sylvia Path and Anne Sexton, historians Samuel Eliot Morison and David McCullough, and medical novelist Robin Cook.
