Summary "Modern Eloquence: Vol II, After-Dinner Speeches E-O" by Thomas B. Reed is a collection of speeches and addresses written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on after-dinner speeches, showcasing the rhetorical skills and various topics addressed by notable speakers of the time. The collection not only highlights eloquence in presentation but also captures the sociopolitical themes and cultural sentiments prevalent during that era. The opening of the book introduces the setting of an after-dinner speech delivered by George Cary Eggleston at a banquet held by the New York Southern Society. In his address, Eggleston humorously reflects on his reluctance to speak and argues against the existence of Southern Literature, stating that all American literature is part of a larger national narrative rather than being confined to regional identities. He emphasizes the significance of the individual in the context of American values and critiques contemporary ideologies, all while engaging the audience with witty remarks and personal anecdotes. This sets the tone for the collection, illustrating the blending of oratory finesse with meaningful discourse. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
