Gardner, Eric. - Major Voices: The Drama of Slavery.

New Milford, CT :Toby Press, 2005. Paperback. 628 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - This anthology allows readers to see how Americans from diverse backgrounds and standpoints staged slavery. In so doing, it also places important but hard-to-find texts like THE FUGITIVES (written by an anonymous abolitionist woman c.1840) and excerpts from 1839 play THE KIDNAPPED CLERGYMAN (one of the earliest abolitionist plays) in dialogue with popular drama like THE OCTOROON (by Dion Boucicault, 1859--published here for the first time with both of Boucicault's endings). The anthology's opening essay and the introductions to the individual plays offer a rich sense of the historical, biographical, socio-political, and literary contexts surrounding the drama of slavery in America. ISBN 9781592641185.
