Page "Amos Bronson Alcott" Paragraph 27

In 1848, Abby May insisted they leave Concord, which she called " cold, heartless, brainless, soulless ".

The Alcott family put The Hillside up for rent and moved to Boston.

There, next door to Peabody's book store on West Street, Bronson Alcott hosted a series based on the " Conversations " model by Margaret Fuller called " A Course on the Conversations on Man — his History, Resources, and Expectations ".

Participants, both men and women, were charged three dollars to attend or five dollars for all seven lectures.

In March 1853, Alcott was invited to teach fifteen students at Harvard Divinity School in an extracurricular, non-credit course.
