1856 1ed Harriet Beecher Stowe DRED Dismal Swamp Nat Turner Slavery Abolition 2v



Known mostly for her cultural defining work ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ Harriet Beecher Stowe presents "Dred," her second novel. Although it enjoyed better initial sales than her previous, and more famous, novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, it was ultimately less popular. Uncle Tom's Cabin drew criticism from abolitionists and African American authors for the passive martyrdom of Uncle Tom, and the endorsement of colonization as a solution to slavery.



‘Dred,’ on the other hand, introduces a black revolutionary character who is presented as an heir to the American revolution rather than a problem to be expatriated. Dred was of a more documentary nature than Uncle Tom's Cabin and thus lacked a character like Uncle Tom to evoke strong emotion from readers.



This rare first printing is a complete 2 volume set with the appendix of anti-slavery papers, Nat Turner confessions!
