Foul Bodies
Cleanliness in Early America

Thursday, July 16th, 2009 at 6:30 PM
In this unusual cultural history, Kathleen Brown shows that attitudes toward “dirt” through the mid-nineteenth century reflected the fundamental values of early American society.  Broad in historical scope and imaginative in its insights, Brown’s new book expands the topic of cleanliness to encompass larger issues such as religion, health, gender, class and race relations.



Lunchtime Lectures
These talks begin at 12:30 in the Flag Gallery and are free with museum admission: $10/$5 students and seniors. (Museum members always free.)
