Oberlin History de Geoffrey Blodgett

Oberlin History

Autor Geoffrey Blodgett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2006
It was during the tumultuous years of the late 1960s and early 1970s that Geoffrey Blodgett turned his attention to the rich history of Oberlin College and its surrounding northern Ohio community. He understood that well-researched and thoughtfully interpreted history can help a community better understand its mission and values and address its current dilemmas, and his aim for these essays was to help put contemporary campus crises and conflicts into historical context. Although several essays included in "Oberlin History" were originally published in scholarly journals, Blodgett clearly wrote these for an Oberlin audience. Elegantly written and grounded in wide-ranging historical scholarship, Blodgett's work is far more sophisticated than most local and institutional histories.

Notă biografică

Geoffrey Blodgett (1931-2001, AB Oberlin 1953, PhD Harvard 1960) was the Robert S. Danforth Professor of History at Oberlin College. He taught at Oberlin from 1960 to 2000, where his specialties included American intellectual history, American political history, and the social history of American architecture. He wrote numerous articles on late nineteenth-century political history and early twentieth-century architecture as well as Oberlin history from 1833 through the 1990s. Professor Blodgett was the author of Oberlin Architecture, College and Town: A Guide to Its Social History (Kent State University Press, 1985). His last book, a biography of architect Cass Gilbert, who designed five of Oberlin's buildings, was Cass Gilbert: The Early Years (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2001).
