Description: Classics in Language and Education
Editor: H. Lane - Fifth in the series of Gallaudet Classics in Deaf Studies, The Deaf Experience presents a selection of the earliest essays written by members of the nascent French Deaf community at the time of the Enlightenment, a rich period of education for deaf people. Written works between 1764 and 1840, edited by Harlan Lane, clearly show how this extraordinary era of French Deaf education influenced the adoption of the manual method by the first schools for deaf students in America, in sharp contrast to the oral movement that repressed sign language-centered education for nearly a century afterward. Deaf Studies scholars and students alike will find this a invaluable resource.
