 nderstanding..\nhttps://alexandria.libnet.info/event/4384065
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Declaration of Independence is a pecul
 iar thing. It&rsquo\;s a literary masterpiece that was written jointly by 
 a committee of fifty people. It&rsquo\;s short and punchy&mdash\;just 1310
  words long&mdash\;but still somehow daunting and difficult to get to grip
 s with (there&rsquo\;s a reason most of us have never read it in full and 
 can only quote the first third of its second sentence).&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>And
  what is it exactly? Is it a birth certificate announcing happy news\, or 
 a petition for divorce full of grievance and score-settling\, or something
  else? Is it aimed at the American people\, or King George\, or someone el
 se? Was it the first ever declaration of independence\, or a cheap imitati
 on of a genre already well established? What did people at the time make o
 f it? What did it change? Why does it matter?</p>\n<p>In this public lectu
 re\,&nbsp\;Richard Bell\, a professor of history at the University of Mary
 land will&nbsp\;tackle the fascinating origins\, misunderstood purpose\, a
 nd extraordinary global legacy of the&nbsp\;Declaration of Independence.</
