Download A Barren Landscape: In Search of an American Culture 1811 - 1861; A Memoir of Eliza Rupp AudioBook Free
America in the first 1800s was a cultural blank canvas, a barren landscaping awaiting texture by means of learning, books and the arts. Geraldine Priest creates this imaginary historical memoir of Eliza Rupp, the embodiment of the numerous Americans trying to fill that void. The storyplot of Eliza's family and her research of piano are interwoven with those of the main literati, music artists and educators of the day. Like so many of them, she journeys to European countries to further her studies and make her own cultural contribution to America's Barren Panorama.
