Course of Popular Lectures
Frances Wright wrote the Course of Public Lectures to address the egregious grievances that were practiced during her time. Published in 1829, the topics covered in these lectures ranged from religion and morality to more pertinent topics of slavery and sexism.
== Overview ==
Wright orated these lectures in cities across the United States; including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and several more. In the preface, Wright addresses the People of the United States as her audience, giving them permission to “examine…judge…adopt…or to discard the views” set forth in her work (〔Course of Popular Lectures〕).
As a social-reformer, Wright’s main objective was to, “() reform by means of instructional improvement” (Course of Popular Lectures). In order to accomplish her goal, Wright had to persuade the populace to renounce the view of the majority in exchange for, what she called, the truth. In her own words, Wright said, “I have…applied myself to develop what is true () than to expose what is false” (〔Course of Popular Lectures〕). It is through these lectures that Wright concentrated her vast experience and wealth of knowledge in an effort to provoke social change in the United States.
Although today Wright is well-recognized for her courageous efforts as well as her early advancements towards social equality, she was not well received during her time. With slavery being a large part of the South’s culture, as well as a considerably profitable enterprise, it is no surprise that Wright’s views were not met without rebuttal and/or a refusal to listen. Due to Wright’s indomitable perseverance, her work has continued to inspire generations in the pursuit of truth in the context of a social society.
