Before and after the Civil War, Brooklyn's elite, many engaged in Atlantic trade, established more than a dozen cultural societies, including the Philharmonic Society, Academy of Music, and Art Association. The associative ethos behind Brooklyn's fine arts flowering built upon commercial networks that joined commerce, culture, and community. This innovative, carefully researched and documented history employs the concept of parallel Renaissances. It shows influences from Renaissance Italy and Liverpool, then connected to New York through regular packet service like the Black Ball Line that ferried people, ideas, and cargo across the Atlantic. Civil War disrupted Brooklyn's Renaissance. The city directed energies towards war relief efforts and the women's Sanitary Fair. The Gilded Age saw Brooklyn's Renaissance energies diluted by financial and political corruption, planning the Brooklyn Bridge and consolidation with New York City in 1898. .United StatesHistoryCivilizationHistoryCities and townsHistoryEthnologyAmericaCultureWorld historyUS HistoryCultural HistoryUrban HistoryAmerican CultureWorld History, Global and Transnational HistoryUnited StatesHistory.CivilizationHistory.Cities and townsHistory.EthnologyCulture.World history.US History.Cultural History.Urban History.American Culture.World History, Global and Transnational History.974.723Bullard Melissa Meriam1946-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut169702BOOK9910254766703321Brooklyn’s Renaissance2072127UNINA
