One of the most powerful and provocative voices to emerge from the
social and political unrest preceding the Civil War, the
abolitionist and political activist Delany is today considered to
have been among the earliest black nationalists. This volume offers
a concise introduction to Delany's extraordinary career: included
in full is the rousing separatist oration 'Political Destiny of the
Colored Race on the American Continent,' followed by a substantial
selection from Delany's sole published novel, Blake, often hailed
as one of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century American
literature. The volume concludes with an epistolary debate between
Delany and Frederick Douglass, situating Delany's ideas in relation
to those of Douglass and of Harriet Beecher Stowe. This volume is
one of a number of editions that have been drawn from the pages of
the acclaimed Broadview Anthology of American Literature; like the
others, it is designed to make a range of material from the
anthology available in a format convenient for use in a wide
variety of contexts.
