Reviews
Selected by Choice magazine as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2016 "In this compelling book, Kennedy ... makes a sound contribution to deaf history scholarship. ... Sicard became a monumental figure in deaf education and was largely responsible for refining French sign language. Kennedy brilliantly reconstructs Sicard's path of 'flawed, intriguing, and lucky survivor' and chronicles his life amid the tumultuous climate of the French Revolution. ... Overall, this fascinating study makes an important scholarly contribution to the field of deaf history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (H. Caldwell, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016) "Emmet Kennedy's Abbé Sicard's Deaf Education: Empowering the Mute, 1785-1820 is a slim volume that examines the life and works of Roch-Ambroise Cucurron, Abbé Sicard (1742-1822). ... The book is certainly important for the history of deaf education, and provides important details that historians in that field will likely value." (Karen E. Carter, American Historical Review, Vol. 122 (2), April 2017) "In Abbé Sicard's Deaf Education Emmet Kennedy ... conducts a fascinating investigation into this intriguing character that not only provides insights into the sensory impaired and their experience of Revolutionary France but also tells us much about living at this tumultuous point in French history. ... Kennedy's detailed reconstruction of Sicard's life, pieced together using archival sources from France and the USA, deserves much credit. It is meticulously researched and offers an important contribution to the field of disability history." (Steven J.

Synopsis
Abbé Sicard was a French revolutionary priest and an innovator of French and American sign language. He enjoyed a meteoric rise from Toulouse and Bordeaux to Paris and, despite his non-conformist tendencies, he escaped the guillotine. In fact, the revolutionaries acknowledged his position and during the Terror of 1794, they made him the director of the first school for the deaf. Later, he became a member of the first Ecole Normale, the National Institute, and the Académie Française. He is recognized today as having developed Enlightenment theories of pantomime, "signing, ' and a form of "universal language" that later spread to Russia, Spain, and America. This is the first book-length biography of Sicard published in any language since 1873, despite Sicard's international renown. This thoughtful, engaging work explores French and American sign language and deaf studies set against the backdrop of the French Revolution and Napoleon., Sicard founded the National Institution of Deaf Mutes during the Terror. Paradoxically, the abbé was a non-conformist priest who was arrested frequently, until his supporters intervened. Later his students gave public demonstrations of his grammatical definitions attracting international curiosity., Abb Sicard was a French revolutionary priest and an innovator of French and American sign language.

- l***c (227)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2902)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
