SUMMARY:1774 and All That

Vernon\, Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History\, and Washington College) as the best book on the revolutionary era published in 2020 and was named a best book of the year by The Wall Street Journal.   \nMary Beth Norton is the Mary Donlan Alger Professor of American History Emerita & Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow at Cornell University. \nCo-sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts \nThis forum is being held both in-person at the Concord Museum and livestreamed to a virtual audience. \nIn-person registration is full.

SUMMARY:A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson
DESCRIPTION:Robert D. Richardson III Annual Forum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMore than two centuries after his birth\, Ralph Waldo Emerson remains one of the presiding spirits in American culture. Yet his reputation as the starry-eyed prophet of self-reliance has obscured a much more complicated figure who spent a lifetime wrestling with injustice\, philosophy\, art\, desire\, and suffering. James Marcus introduces us to this Emerson\, a writer of self-interrogating genius whose visionary flights are always grounded in Yankee shrewdness. \nCo-sponsored by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nForums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.
