Book Synopsis Lecturing the Atlantic by : Tom F. Wright
Book excerpt: Lecturing the Atlantic is a reinterpretation of the "public lecture" as one of the most important cultural forms of the nineteenth century Anglo-American world. Wright shows how key figures including Frederick Douglass, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and William Makepeace Thackeray used the lecture hall to explore Anglo-American relations and themes of progress and national identity.
