Cr�ticas

"Garrett and Robbins have collected an astonishing, delightful variety of works from Brown's versatile pen: anti-slavery speeches before English audiences, essays, semi-autobiographical memoirs, drama, and letters to newspapers. All reveal Brown's talent and especially his wit. This volume belongs in all academic libraries supporting history and literature coursework." --Catholic Library World"The new Garrett and Robbins collection of lectures, essays, fiction and other writing by William Wells Brown heralds a Brown renaissance. Energetically demonstrating how our appreciation of Frederick Douglass has led us to overlook the very different and equally important abolitionist contributions of Brown, the editors offer readers a careful tour of Brown's careeer. They highlight its fullness and complexity, and especially its astute engagement with audience expectations. The Works of William Wells Brown is a germinal and exciting collection that will open up important new avenues for studying Brown and the abolitionist movement."--Dana D. Nelson, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of English and American Studies, Vanderbilt University"A highly valuable anthology that demonstrates the full range of Brown's contributions to the antislavery movement and to the intellectual culture beyond it. In their provocative introduction and sampling of texts, Garrett and Robbins make a compelling case for the ways in which Brown's literary and aesthetic strategies distinguished him from other writers on the abolitionist circuit, while appealing to a specifically female community of reformers."--Elisa Tamarkin, Assistant Professor fo English, University of California, Irvine "Garrett and Robbins have collected an astonishing, delightful variety of works from Brown's versatile pen: anti-slavery speeches before English audiences, essays, semi-autobiographical memoirs, drama, and letters to newspapers.
