Exhibit Opening "England, the English, and English Culture in North America"
Starts: 6:00 pm
Ends: May 28, 2013 - 8:00 pm
Location: 3rd floor of Addlestone Library
Description: The exhibition runs to June 10 but will be available permanently through the Lowcountry Digitial Library. The opening will feature a performance by the Hexham Morris troupe, a group of 32 folk dancers and musicians from the Northeast of England.
The forces of His Majesty’s Government left Charleston in 1782 at the end of the American Revolution, never to return. Yet, the city retained a lot of its English character and culture including, among many other things, its King and Queen Streets. It also retained the oldest St. George’s Society in North America (founded in 1733) which is still active today. In light of its continued Anglo affinities, the Locating the Hidden Diaspora Project at Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, in conjunction with the Program in the Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World at the College of Charleston, the South Carolina Historical Society, and the Charleston Library Society, have organized a number of English cultural events to coincide with the 2013 Spoleto fortnight (or in American English two weeks!).
Events kick off on at 3 pm on May 28th with a lecture by Dr. David Gleeson of Northumbria, entitled “England and the Antebellum South” which is part of the Charleston Library Society’s Piccolo Spoleto Literary Festival.
