Forest Books: Harlan Lane (Ed.) Franklin Philip (Translator) Deaf Experience: Classics In Language & Education

This is a collection of French works written between 1764 and 1840 and now translated into English. They were written during, what some would say was a golden era in deaf education. They include many writings by deaf men, deaf leaders, intellectuals and educationalists; Pierres Desloges, Jean Massieu, de l'Epee and Sicard to mention a few. The writings had a significant influence in the United States at the time and have shaped the lives of Western deaf people down to the present.
