Lecturing the Atlantic: Speech, Print, and an Anglo-American Commons 1830-1870 by Tom F. Wright
Requirements: PDF Reader, 8.0 MB
Overview: In the early nineteenth century, the public lecture emerged as one of the Anglo-American world’s most important cultural forms. On both sides of the Atlantic, audiences and performers transformed a cultural practice with origins in the medieval cloister into an unexpected flashpoint medium of public life. In the United States, as part of the “lyceum movement,” lecturing became crucial to literary and political life, multiple social reform movements, and the rise of public intellectualism, offering speakers from across the cultural spectrum a platform from which to promote their ideas and explain contemporary life.
