American Lyceum

The EdTech Center created a website to support and promote the NEH grant-funded workshop: 'THE AMERICAN LYCEUM AND PUBLIC CULTURE: THE ORATORY OF IDEALISM, OPPORTUNITY, AND ABOLITION IN THE 19TH CENTURY' in May 2007.

Description of the workshop:
In these workshops we will revisit a seminal period in American intellectual and social history, the growth of the American Lyceum. I invite you to visit key Lyceum sites with us, to hear a selection of the great orations brought to life and delivered on the Lyceum stage, and to parse with other scholars the meaning and impact of this landmark movement in American history, both then and now.
