Dr. John Getz, Professor Emeritus, Xavier University
Get into the Halloween spirit by reading these three Gothic stories from different eras in US history. We'll discuss how the authors used the popular genre of terror and horror fiction to dig deep into American culture and make us think about some truly frightening realities: the underside of the American Revolution, race relations in the post-Civil War South, and the tyranny of unquestioned tradition and authority.
Suggested reading:
Nathaniel Hawthorne, "My Kinsman, Major Molineaux" (1832)
Jean Toomer "Blood-Burning Moon" (1923)
Shirley Jackson, "The Lottery" (1948)
2022 Theme
In 2022 our monthly discussion series from Harriet Beecher Stowe House will continue with a new theme: “The Power of Voice.” We’ll focus on moments in American--and, in one case, world—history when eloquent voices arose, often from the margins, to address important issues, usually related to social justice, in culture and society.
