The play, written by New England-born, Harvard-educated, Royall Tyler was timely, funny, and extremely popular. When the play appeared in print in 1790, George Washington himself appeared at the head of its list of hundreds of subscribers.Reprinted here with annotated footnotes by historian Cynthia A. Kierner, Tyler’s play explores the debate over manners, morals, and cultural authority in the decades following American Revolution. Did the American colonists' rejection of monarchy in 1776 mean they should abolish all European social traditions and hierarchies? What sorts of etiquette, amusements, and fashions were appropriate and beneficial? Most important, to be a nation, did Americans need to distinguish themselves from Europeans-and, if so, how? Tyler was not the only American pondering these questions, and Kierner situates the play in its broader historical and cultural contexts. An extensive introduction provides readers with a background on life and politics in the United States in 1787, when Americans were in the midst of nation-building. The book also features a section with selections from contemporary letters, essays, novels, conduct books, and public documents, which debate issues of the era.LITERARY CRITICISMbisacDramabisacManners and customsHistory18th centuryUnited StatesDramaConduct of lifeDramaBetrothalDramaArranged marriageDramaMate selectionDramaPolitics and literatureSourcesEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican LiteratureHILCCContrast.Republic.creative.early.general.history.manner.materials.present.readers.students.teachers.user-friendly.witty.LITERARY CRITICISMDramaManners and customsHistoryConduct of lifeBetrothalArranged marriageMate selectionPolitics and literatureEnglishLanguages & LiteraturesAmerican Literature812/.1Tyler Royall403234Kierner Cynthia APQKBBOOK9910777749703321Contrast : Manners, Morals, and Authority in the Early American Republic3863052UNINA04070nam 22005295 450 991015747240332120200707015418.03-319-49352-310.1007/978-3-319-49352-7(CKB)3710000001001448(DE-He213)978-3-319-49352-7(MiAaPQ)EBC4774356(PPN)197458033(EXLCZ)99371000000100144820161230d2017 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCreative Ways of Knowing in Engineering /edited by Diana Bairaktarova, Michele Eodice1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XVIII, 234 p. 19 illus., 9 illus. in color.) 3-319-49351-5 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.The New Renaissance Artificers: Harnessing the Power of Creativity in the Engineering Classroom -- The Engineers’ Orchestra: A Conductorless Orchestra for Our Time -- Science Fiction as Platform for Problem-Based Learning and Teaching Writing as Design -- “Writing as Knowing: Creative Knowing through Multiple Messaging Modes in an Engineering Technical Communications Course” -- The Engineering of a Writing Assignment: Optimizing the Research Paper in an Introductory Chemical Engineering Course in the United Arab Emirates -- Creativity and Identity in the Construction of Professional Portfolios -- Uneasy Stories: Critical Reflection Narratives in Engineering Education -- Ethical Dilemmas in the Engineering Writing Classroom -- Creative Ways of Knowing and the Future of Engineering Education -- Afterword.This book offers a platform for engineering educators who are interested in implementing a “creative ways of knowing” approach to presenting engineering concepts. The case studies in this book reveal how students learn through creative engagement that includes not only design and build activities, but also creative presentations of learning, such as composing songs, writing poems and short stories, painting and drawing, as well as designing animations and comics. Any engineering educator will find common ground with the authors, who are all experienced engineering and liberal arts professors, who have taken the step to include creative activities and outlets for students learning engineering. • Demonstrates various methods for returning to the basics of engineering education, which include design and creativity, teamwork and interdisciplinary thinking; • Discusses a timely topic, as higher education puts more attention on the student experience of learning in all disciplines; • Includes actual student products demonstrating “creative ways of knowing in engineering”; • Highlights multiple ways to teach engineering concepts.Engineering—Vocational guidanceTechnical educationEducation—Data processingJob Careers in Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009Engineering/Technology Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O43000Computers and Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24032Engineering—Vocational guidance.Technical education.Education—Data processing.Job Careers in Science and Engineering.Engineering/Technology Education.Computers and Education.502.3Bairaktarova Dianaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEodice Micheleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910157472403321Creative Ways of Knowing in Engineering2209861UNINA
