SUMMARY:Aaron Pratt on Shakespeare and Spencer\, Secondhand
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nMay Midday Program \n \nYou probably misheard it over the radio. Barbra Streisand wasn’t singing about “Secondhand Rose” … she was belting out “Secondhand Prose.” \nJust think about some of the most precious volumes in your collection. The ones that you didn’t purchase fresh off the press\, but found in a used book store. Or bought at auction. Or stumbled upon at an estate sale. \nThis idea of acquiring previously owned books isn’t new\, and during our May Midday\, Aaron Pratt will draw on the formidable resources of the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas to tell the tale of the emergence of trade in secondhand volumes. \nDrawing on the Ransom Center’s copies of Seneca His Tenne Tragedies (1581) and Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene (1596)\, Pratt will transport you to the middle of the 17th entry and introduce you to a specialized trade in plays\, poetry\, and prose fiction. He’ll also reveal the origins of the narratives that we tell about the reception and ultimate canonization of Shakespeare\, Spenser\, and select contemporaries. \nMuch published\, Aaron Pratt\, serves as the Carl & Lily Pforzheimer Curator of Early Books and Manuscripts at the Harry Ransom Center and as Assistant Professor\, English. \nDon’t just hear about this program. Experience it first hand. Register today! \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nZoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5663535?CalendarViewType=1&SelectedDate=4/25/2024

SUMMARY:Sand Rush: The Revival of the Beach in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nSand Rush: The Revival of the Beach in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles\n\nMonday\, May 13\, 2024\, 5-6:15 PM (Pacific)\nVirtual Presentation \n\n\n5:00 PM Pacific – Program \nThe Los Angeles shoreline is one of the most iconic natural landscapes in the United States\, if not the world. Yet\, in the early twentieth century Angelenos routinely lamented the city’s crowded\, polluted\, and eroded sands\, many of which were private and inaccessible to the public. \nBetween the 1920s and the 1960s\, LA’s engineers\, city officials\, urban planners\, and business elite worked together to transform the relatively untouched beaches into modern playgrounds for the white middle class. \nAs they opened up vast public spaces for many Angelenos to express themselves\, show off their bodies\, and forge alternative communities\, they made clear that certain groups of beachgoers\, including African Americans\, gay men and women\, and bodybuilders\, were no longer welcome. \nSand Rush not only uncovers how the Los Angeles coastline was constructed but also how this major planning and engineering project affected the lives of ordinary city-dwellers and attracted many Americans to move to Southern California. \nA virtual presentation by Elsa Devienne\, author and assistant professor in US History\, Northumbria University\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, England \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom
