Moving boldly between literary analysis and political theory,
contemporary and antebellum US culture, Arthur Riss invites readers
to rethink prevailing accounts of the relationship between slavery,
liberalism, and literary representation. Situating Nathaniel
Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Frederick Douglass at the
center of antebellum debates over the person-hood of the slave,
this 2006 book examines how a nation dedicated to the proposition
that 'all men are created equal' formulates arguments both for and
against race-based slavery. This revisionary argument promises to
be unsettling for literary critics, political philosophers,
historians of US slavery, as well as those interested in the link
between literature and human rights.
