The Chautauqua movement began in 1874 on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in western New York. More than a college or a summer resort or a religious assembly, it was a composite of all of these-completely derivative yet brilliantly innovative. For five decades, Chautauqua dominated adult education and reached millions with its summer assemblies, reading clubs, and traveling circuits.Scholars have long struggled to make sense of Chautauqua's pervasive yet disorganized presence in American life. In this critical study, Andrew Rieser weaves the threads of Chautauqua into a single story and places it at the vital center of fin de siècle cultural and political history. Famous for its commitment to democracy, women's rights, and social justice, Chautauqua was nonetheless blind to issues of class and race. How could something that trumpeted democracy be so undemocratic in practice? The answer, Rieser argues, lies in the historical experience of the white, Protestant middle classes, who struggled to reconcile their parochial interests with radically new ideas about social progress and the state. The Chautauqua Moment brings color to a colorless demographic and spins a fascinating tale of modern liberalism's ambivalent but enduring cultural legacy. 410 0$aReligion and American Culture 606 $aChautauquas$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aProtestant churches$xEducation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMiddle class$xEducation$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChautauquas$xHistory. 615 0$aProtestant churches$xEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aMiddle class$xEducation$xHistory. 676 $a374/.973 700 $aRieser$b Andrew Chamberlin$01035890 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450957803321 996 $aThe Chautauqua moment$92455837 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03135nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9910461394903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-68773-8 010 $a9786613664679 010 $a0-8032-4035-X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000176545 035 $a(EBL)915520 035 $a(OCoLC)792741479 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000633665 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11424411 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000633665 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10620900 035 $a(PQKB)11753274 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC915520 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL915520 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10559289 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL366467 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000176545 100 $a20110822d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aConnie Mack$b[electronic resource] $ethe turbulent and triumphant years, 1915-1931 /$fNorman L.

But beginning in 1915, where volume 2 in Norman L. Macht's biography picks up the story, Mack's teams fell from pennant winners to last place and, in an unprecedented reversal of fortunes, stayed there for seven years. World War I robbed baseball of young players, and Mack's rebuilding efforts using green youngsters of limited ability made his teams the objects of public ridicule.
