Culture of Eloquence: Oratory and Reform in Antebellum America
James Perrin Warren
A cultural history of the reforming power of language, based on a study of non-fiction prose of the 1830s - 1850s, in particular orations and lectures. Practices that crossed boundaries of gender, race and class show how diverse sectors of American society valued the word as a means toward reform.
