SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—When the Declaration of Independence Was News
DESCRIPTION:Historian Emily Sneff discusses her new book that reveals the stories of how the Declaration of Independence was communicated in the United States and around the Atlantic World. In 1776\, people could hear the Declaration of Independence proclaimed in public squares and read it in the pages of their local newspapers. Histories of the Declaration typically recount the work that took place inside the Continental Congress\, focusing on the men tasked with drafting the text. Although Congress declared independence\, the work of spreading the news involved various individuals\, ranging from printers and post riders to ship captains\, clerks and translators. Drawing from the book\, this talk provides fresh perspectives on the Declaration of Independence by focusing on the earliest public readings and print reactions to independence in English and European languages. \nRegistration is requested.
