James Mcgready: Son Of Thunder, Father Of The Great Revival, John Thomas Scott
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This dissertation is a biography of James McGready (c.1760-1817), a Presbyterian revivalist minister who lived and worked primarily in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana. He is best known as the Father of the Great Revival, an evangelical revival that spread throughout the southeastern United States between 1800 and 1805, and the creator of the camp meeting, which soon became an institutional part of American revivalism. Historians have generally described McGready as an innovator in matters of doctrine and revivalist methodology. This study argues that McGready is better understood as a traditionalist. This interpretation follows several recent works that have …

In the early 1750s a handful of artisans produced objects …

The Architecture Of Slavery: Art, Language, And Society In Early Virginia, Alexander Ormond Boulton
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in the Virginia piedmont, the third site, is described as romantic, liberal, and bourgeois. It is only at this third site, the locus for a distinctly modern family type, …
