Hagar's Daughter: A Story of Southern Caste Prejudice (1901-1902)
is a novel by African American author Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins.
Originally published in The Colored American Magazine, America's
first monthly periodical covering African American arts and
culture, Hagar's Daughter: A Story of Southern Caste Prejudice is a
groundbreaking novel. Addressing themes of race and slavery through
the lens of romance, Hopkins' novel is thought to be the first
detective novel written by an African American author. Set just
before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Hagar's Daughter: A
Story of Southern Caste Prejudice takes place on the outskirts of
Baltimore where, on neighboring estates, a man and woman fall in
love. When Hagar Sargeant returns home after four years of study at
a seminary in the North, she meets Ellis Enson, an older gentleman
and self-made man who resides at the stately Enson Hall. After a
brief courtship, the pair are engaged to be married. As the wedding
approaches, Hagar's mother-who has controlled the family estate
since her husband's death-dies unexpectedly, leaving Hagar the home
and its accompanying grounds. Despite this tragic loss, Ellis and
Hagar look forward to starting a family together-but when a man
from the deep south arrives claiming the young woman was born a
slave, their lives are changed forever. Hagar's Daughter: A Story
of Southern Caste Prejudice is a thrilling work of romance and
detective fiction from a true pioneer of American literature, a
woman whose talent and principles afforded her the vision necessary
for illuminating the injustices of life in a nation founded on
slavery and genocide. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Pauline
Elizabeth Hopkins' Hagar's Daughter: A Story of Southern Caste
Prejudice is a classic work of African American literature
reimagined for modern readers.
