Summary "Modern Eloquence: Vol III, After-Dinner Speeches P-Z" by Thomas B. Reed is a collection of speeches and addresses from notable speakers of the late 19th century. Compiled in a period characterized by significant social, political, and cultural change, this volume encompasses a range of after-dinner speeches that encapsulate the eloquence and humor of that era. The speeches explore various topics, including politics, culture, and the human experience, all delivered with a flair that aims to entertain and provoke thought. The opening of the work sets the tone for the collection by introducing notable figures and their contributions, starting with Thomas Nelson Page's address at a New England Society dinner. Page discusses themes of reconciliation between the North and South following the Civil War, emphasizing shared heritage and the importance of character over material wealth. He contextualizes the relationship between the two regions, blending personal anecdotes with broader reflections on national identity, aiming to bridge historical divisions while invoking sentiments of unity and shared responsibility among Americans. This style, combining personal connection with societal reflection, is likely a hallmark of the speeches presented throughout the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
