摘要：

This essay argues that performative lecture functions as a hybrid form allowing for the presentation of historical research with artistic license. As an example, I offer a performative lecture on Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842-1932), a Quaker abolitionist, playwright, lyceum lecturer, and actor. Looking critically and nostalgically at Dickinson's life, the project accounts for her queer failure by exploring the ephemerality of artistic success. Playfully complicating my desire to engage with Dickinson across queer and performance worlds, I explore Dickinson's life and career as part of lyceum history in the United States.
