SUMMARY:Joel Myerson Annual Lecture Presented by Professor Daniel Shealy
DESCRIPTION:Learn More and Register\n  \nPlease join us for the annual Joel Myerson Lecture: “‘I turn my adventures into bread and butter ‘: Louisa May Alcott’s European Grand Tour\,” presented by Professor Daniel Shealy. \nDaniel Shealy is Professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte\, where he teaches American literature. He has published thirteen books on Louisa May Alcott\, including co-editing The Selected Letters of Louisa May Alcott and The Journal of Louisa May Alcott with Joel Myerson. He also edited Little Women: An Annotated Edition\, published by Harvard University Press. His most recent book\, Little Women at 150\, was published in 2022. His forthcoming book\, Louisa May Alcott in Europe: Shawl Straps and Other Stories\, will be published by Mercer University Press in 2027. \nTHE JOEL MYERSON ANNUAL LECTURE SERIES \nAfter Prof. Joel Myerson died in 2021\, the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library\, along with representatives from the Louisa May Alcott Society\, Margaret Fuller Society\, The Ralph Waldo Emerson Society\, and The Thoreau Society\, launched the Joel Myerson Annual Lecture Series. \nThe Joel Myerson Annual Lecture Series will engage the public in the study of American literature and literary history\, focusing on writers associated with Concord\, Massachusetts\, and American Transcendentalism\, with an interdisciplinary outlook. The series will highlight the work and ideas of emergent scholarship\, drawing on the values Myerson personified as a generous mentor\, teacher\, and public speaker and amplifying the diversity of representation that Joel Myerson exemplified in his textual scholarship and editorial initiatives. The series will promote lifelong learning and the recovery of primary source materials that teach us about the future as well as the past—beginning in Concord and radiating outward to American literature and culture as a means to engage with current events\, conservation\, and reform. \nA reception will follow the event in the Rotunda. \nThe Concord Free Public Library Corporation generously sponsors the series. \n  \nThis program will also be livestreamed.
