keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

The Uncalled (1898) is a novel by African American author Paul
Laurence Dunbar. Published while Dunbar was at the height of his
career as one of the nation's leading black poets, The Uncalled
marked his debut as a novelist with a powerful vision of faith and
perseverance who sought to capture and examine the diversity of the
African American experience. When his mother dies, Freddie
Brent-whose father is presumed dead-is officially orphaned.
Although some members of the church community think it best to send
him to the local orphanage, Miss Hester, an unmarried older woman,
declares it her duty to provide for the boy. Having never raised a
child before, however, she struggles to ascertain and fulfill
Freddie's needs, focusing instead on her perception of his troubled
upbringing and punishing the boy for his parents' supposed
sinfulness. Freddie looks forward to visits from Eliphalet Hodges,
Miss Hester's longtime suitor, who acts as a father figure and
shows him kindness and respect. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Paul
Laurence Dunbar's The Uncalled is a classic of African American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
