Lecture with Stephen P. Rice
Imagining the "Highlands of the Hudson" in Nineteenth-Century America
Lecture with Stephen P. Rice
Saturday, March 26, 5 pm
Join PCHS for a lecture that examines how people in the nineteenth-century depicted the Highlands of the Hudson in the verbal and visual arts, ranging from poems and works of fiction to paintings and popular illustrations. It shows that through the century there were three main ways that people imagined this dramatic stretch of the Hudson River: as a magical realm of legend, as a natural scene of beauty aided in part by the hand of man, and as a historical setting of national importance.
This lecture is free and open to the public; and is sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities, Speakers in the Humanities program. To RSVP, please call 845-265-4010 or email, kshier@pchs-fsm.org.
