This workshop is part of our Lit Lives series, where you will dive into the Rosenbach’s collection of rare editions and personal letters and discover how to bring them to life for your students.
In this session, we will learn how authors like Oscar Wilde, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, and Toni Morrison navigated a world in which their work and their character was both celebrated and attacked. We will compare their lives with those of contemporary influencers and celebrities whose careers often rise as quickly as they fall in the court of public opinion.
This program is co-sponsored by the The Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collection Libraries (PACSCL)
