Judie Newman\u003cbr\u003eThis, the first modern edition of Stowe's second abolitionist bestseller, launched the novel back into the American literary canon, as a compelling dramatization of a heroic black revolutionary leading a community of escaped slaves. Writing strategically against slavery, Stowe deployed all the weapons in a great writer's armoury; romance, realism, religious appeal, Gothic, broad comedy, strong black women characters, frontier violence and a blistering satire on the American legal system. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the centrality of slavery to American literature and history- and for anyone who enjoys a great novelist writing at the height of her powers.\u003cbr\u003eKeywords: Slavery, Novel, African American Studies, Religion, Law, Race-Relations, Insurrection, Women's Studies.\u003cbr\u003eJudie Newman is Professor of American Studies at the University of Nottingham.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615114313879,"sku":"9781853310386","price":3873.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781853310386.webp?v=1775098129","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/harriet-beecher-stowe-dred-a-tale-of-the-great-dismal-swamp-9781853310386","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
