| 520 | |a Oratory emerged as the first major form of verbal art in early America because, as John Quincy Adams observed in 1805, ""eloquence was POWER."" In this book, Sandra Gustafson examines the multiple traditions of sacred, diplomatic, and political speech that flourished in British America and the early republic from colonization through 1800. She demonstrates that, in the American crucible of cultures, contact and conflict among Europeans, native Americans, and Africans gave particular significance and complexity to the uses of the spoken word. Gustafson develops what she calls the performance. | ||
