Item description from seller

Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Harriet Beecher Stowe 1856 1st/1st Very Good Condition. Some wear to boards/spine, some foxing throughout, but overall very good, considering its 170 years old! This is truly a museum piece! A true piece of American Literary History! Harriet Beecher Stowe's second antislavery novel was written partly in response to the criticisms of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) by both white Southerners and black abolitionists. In Dred (1856), Stowe attempts to explore the issue of slavery from an African American perspective. Through the compelling stories of Nina Gordon, the mistress of a slave plantation, and Dred, a black revolutionary, Stowe brings to life conflicting beliefs about race, the institution of slavery, and the possibilities of violent resistance. Probing the political and spiritual goals that fuel Dred's rebellion, Stowe creates a figure far different from the acquiescent Christian martyr Uncle Tom. In his introduction to the classic novel, Robert S. Levine outlines the antislavery debates in which Stowe had become deeply involved before and during her writing of Dred . Levine shows that in addition to its significance in literary history, the novel remains relevant to present-day discussions of cross-racial perspectives. 1856 Harriet Beecher Stowe 1ed 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" offers a gripping narrative that not only captivates readers but also serves as a fervent plea for social change, making it a significant contribution to the abolitionist movement and a testament to Stowe's literary prowess. This rare first printing is a complete 2 volume set with the appendix of anti-slavery papers, Nat Turner confessions!
