SUMMARY:Emerging Scholars: Cliff Dwellers’ Portrayals & Furniture on the Move
DESCRIPTION:The Victorian Society New York’s 2025 Emerging Scholars winners will shed light on little-known yet influential aspects of Gilded Age history\, literature\, international trade\, and design. \nCenter at West Park\n165 West 86th Street\nNew York\, NY 10024 \nRegister \nSarah Egan\, a graduate student at the Bard Graduate Center\, will discuss Illinois education advocate Clara Kern Bayliss (1848–1948) who authored early 1900s children’s books about Lolami\, a fictional “Little Cliff Dweller” in Arizona. In the books\, Lolami becomes orphaned\, explores abandoned cliff settlements\, and then becomes ingratiated with another local indigenous group\, the Hopi. Egan will look at Bayliss’s archaeological and historical sources\, including displays at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair\, and the books’ classroom uses that shaped children’s thinking about American history and Americanness and reflected and transmitted harmful and reductive racial and social hierarchies. \nTop photograph: Edition of Clara Bayliss book about Cliff Dwellers.
