Join us for Summer Author Series at The Mount!

Summer Author Series | July 6 – August 25 | The Mount, Lenox, MA
A cornerstone of the season, the Summer Author Series features award-winning biographers exploring the lives and ideas that challenged convention.

From uncovering the story of modern Russia through the lives of its women to exploring America’s Founding Era through the intertwined lives of Angelica and Elizabeth Schuyler, two women as formidable as the men they loved, these talks traverse continents and eras with vivid storytelling.

Journey to Paris on the brink of World War II where a young reporter confronts the gathering darkness from without and within. Go beyond the myth and discover how Bruce Lee’s singular presence reshaped culture, challenged Hollywood, and helped define what it meant—and still means—to be Asian in America.

Discover new perspectives on iconic figures, including Dolly Parton, Jessica Mitford, Samuel Alito, and James Baldwin. Together, these compelling conversations reveal how individual lives—bold, complex, and often unexpected—have shaped the cultural and political currents that continue to define our world today.
