Description

G. Thomas Couser, Professor Emeritus of English at Hofstra University, presents his perspective of the Declaration of Independence not as politics, but as literature. Couser's talk explores how the Declaration—originally a political and diplomatic document—functions as a foundational piece of American literature and examines its lasting influence on subsequent writers and the national identity.
