		>America at the Turn of the Century ^Votes:0 America at the Turn of the Century: A Look at the Historical Context The National Setting By 1900 the American nation had established itself as a world power. The West was won. The frontier -- the great fact of 300 years of American history -- was no more. The continent was settled from coast to coast. Apache war chief Geronimo had surrendered in 1886. Defeat of the Sioux at the battle of Wounded Knee in 1891 had brought the Indian Wars to a close. By 1900 the Indians were on reservations and the buffalo were gone. Homesteading and the introduction of barbed wire in 1874 had brought an end to the open range. The McCormick reaper had made large-scale farming profitable and, in 1900, the U.S. was by far the world's largest agricultural producer. The first transcontinental rail link had been Read More Go to Site

		An East-Side Ramble ^Votes:0 "An East-Side Ramble" William Dean Howells Impressions and Experiences (New York: Harpers & Brothers, 1896): 127-149. William Dean Howells was one the best known and probably the most influential advocates of realism in literature. He believed that authors had a duty to inform their readers. "It is one of my heresies that comfort should be constantly reminded of misery by the sight of it. Comfort is so forgetful." As Editor of @u[Harper's Magazine] he advanced the careers of writers who realistically depicted life in America. Abraham Cahan, Stephen Crane, Hamlin Garland, and Frank Norris benefited from his friendship and his assistance in publishing their early works. Howells had a special interest in the Lower East Side and its people from whom he hoped a voice would emerge. "Very possibl Read More Go to Site

		Antique Women's Fashions 1825-1840 ^Votes:0 If asked to draw a sketch of the American or European woman of fashion at the beginning of the 1820s, most of us would think of the recent Jane Austen movies and draw a woman whose lithe figure resembled an exclamation point clad in a simple high-waisted dress of thin muslin with short puffed sleeves. If asked to draw the silhouette of a woman of the latter half of the 1840s, the sketch would resemble a dinner bell. The fashions of the transitory period 1825 to 1840 are often very vague in the mind's eye. That fifteen year period is perhaps the least studied era of Western women's clothing of the last three hundred years. Although largely overlooked, however, important styles came and went within that period and changes occurred which effected fashion for decades. GENTILITY: The 18teens wa Read More Go to Site

		IHAS: Artist/Movement/Ideas ^Votes:0 DANIEL DECATUR EMMET & THE AMERICAN MINSTREL (1815-1904) B anjoist, fiddler, singer, comedian, and author of plays and songs for the minstrel show, Dan Emmet is best known as the composer of the walk-around DIXIE, originally presented by Bryant's Minstrels in 1859 and of the tune later arranged by Aaron Copland , DE BOATMAN DANCE. Emmet's career is but one of many in a succession of entertainers and composers who used the minstrel stage as a popular platform. Black face Minstrelsy The minstrel show, which crystallized in the early 1840's, was arguably the first distinct American music-theatre genre. Created by white Americans, antebellum minstrelsy relied on blackface and caricatures of African-Americans to amuse audiences that were predominantly white. These variety shows with their stock Read More Go to Site

		Rise of Evangelicalism ^Votes:0 Transformations in American economics, politics and intellectual culture found their parallel in a transformation of American religion in the decades following independence, as the United States underwent a widespread flowering of religious sentiment and unprecedented expansion of church membership known as the Second Great Awakening. Definitions of the term and assessments of the causes, contours, and effects of the Awakening are in dispute, but a number of basic features are generally agreed upon. The Awakening lasted some 50 years, from the 1790s to the 1840s, and spanned the entire United States. The religious revitalization that the Awakening represented manifested itself in different ways according to the local population and church establishment, but was definitely a Protestant phen Read More Go to Site
