Presentation: Youth in Revolt – Alexander Hamilton and Coming of Age in the American Revolution

Fargo Public Library — 2020-03-10T19:23:24.934Z

Join us as Donald Johnson, Assistant Professor of Early American History at NDSU uses the career of Alexander Hamilton and others, to explore how the American Revolution affected the lives of those who came of age during the political crisis that preceded it, the War that it led to, and the chaotic period that ensued.

At the dawn of the Revolution more than 1/3 of Americans were under the age of 24, and while older Revolutionaries like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin may have pioneered the ideology of rebellion, it fell to younger founders like Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to do much of the fighting and governing in the post-Revolutionary landscape. This presentation explores both how these peoples’ lives were shaped by the Revolution and how those young people shaped the course of Revolutionary events.
Sunday, April 5 – Main Library at 2 p.m.

For more information about this or any other Fargo Public Library event, please call the Main Library Information Desk at 701.241.1492.

Don Quixote: What Makes the Modern Novel Modern?

Fargo Public Library — 2019-02-13T19:45:13.899Z

Celebrate International Day of the Book with the presentation, Don Quixote: What Makes the Modern Novel Modern, by Dr. Carlos Hawley from NDSU Department of Modern Languages. Hawley will describe how poetry, industry, and empire coalesced around author Miguel de Cervantes and gave rise to fiction, literacy, and the modern novel.

In 1605 with Don Quixote Book I, and in 1615, Book II, Miguel de Cervantes gave us the novel as we know it today. 152 years before, in 1453, the printing press fell right into the European oral culture. Prior to Gutenberg’s gismo, writing primarily served one of three purposes: to archive data; to provide a snapshot of a given performance; or to offer performers material for enacting a performance. Publishing, making words public, was done orally, by criers and lectors and troubadours on a stage or some other performance space. The first generations to follow print found themselves transitioning from an oral tradition into literacy and, by the time Cervantes arrived on the scene, he could see that the book was becoming a space for poetic performance that might rival the stage, and he set out to make that happen. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Contact Lori at 701.476.5977. This event is part of the Main Library Building's 10th Anniversary Celebration series of events.
