{"product_id":"harriet-beecher-stowe-dred","title":"Harriet Beecher Stowe: Dred","description":"Dred : A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp, ed. Judie Newman\nThis, the first modern edition of Stowe’s second abolitionist bestseller, launched the novel back into the American literary canon, as a compelling dramatization of a heroic black revolutionary leading a community of escaped slaves. Writing strategically against slavery, Stowe deployed all the weapons in a great writer’s armoury; romance, realism, religious appeal, Gothic, broad comedy, strong black women characters, frontier violence and a blistering satire on the American legal system. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the centrality of slavery to American literature and history- and for anyone who enjoys a great novelist writing at the height of her powers.\nKeywords: Slavery, Novel, African American Studies, Religion, Law, Race-Relations, Insurrection, Women’s Studies.\nJudie Newman is Professor of American Studies at the University of Nottingham.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229075984728,"sku":"9781853310386","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781853310386.jpg?v=1770708653","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/harriet-beecher-stowe-dred","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
