Description

"Lecturing the Atlantic is a re-interpretation 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"--Provided by publisher.
