Book Description
Excerpt from The Signs of the Times: A Series of Discourses Delivered in the Second Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia This conviction was confirmed by the con sideration, that although the dispensations of Divine Providence are often deeply interesting and highly instructive, they are seldom taken up and considered in order - and thus the ad vantages which might be derived from them are lost, because they have not been expounded and enforced. Even those which concern us as individuals, are soon forgotten, unless atten tion is from time to time directed to them, or the general principles of the Divine administra tion are so infixed in the mind as to identify the presence and government of God with every movement.

Reforming Men and Women
Author: Bruce Dorsey
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801472886
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Before the Civil War, the public lives of American men and women intersected most frequently in the arena of religious activism. Bruce Dorsey broadens the field of gender studies, incorporating an analysis of masculinity into the history of early American religion and reform. His is a holistic account that reveals the contested meanings of manhood and womanhood among antebellum Americans, both black and white, middle class and working class.Urban poverty, drink, slavery, and Irish Catholic immigration--for each of these social problems that engrossed Northern reformers, Dorsey examines the often competing views held by male and female activists and shows how their perspectives were further complicated by differences in class, race, and generation. His primary focus is Philadelphia, birthplace of nearly every kind of benevolent and reform society and emblematic of changes occurring throughout the North. With an especially rich history of African-American activism, the city is ideal for Dorsey's exploration of race and reform.Combining stories of both ordinary individuals and major reformers with an insightful analysis of contemporary songs, plays, fiction, and polemics, Dorsey exposes the ways race, class, and ethnicity influenced the meanings of manhood and womanhood in nineteenth-century America. By linking his gendered history of religious activism with the transformations characterizing antebellum society, he contributes to a larger quest: to engender all of American history.
