{"product_id":"dred-a-tale-of-the-great-dismal-swamp-9780807856857","title":"Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp","description":"Harriet Beecher Stowe's second antislavery novel was written partly in response to the criticisms of \u003ci\u003eUncle Tom's Cabin\u003c\/i\u003e (1852) by both white Southerners and black abolitionists. In \u003ci\u003eDred\u003c\/i\u003e (1856), Stowe attempts to explore the issue of slavery from an African American perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the compelling stories of Nina Gordon, the mistress of a slave plantation, and Dred, a black revolutionary, Stowe brings to life conflicting beliefs about race, the institution of slavery, and the possibilities of violent resistance. Probing the political and spiritual goals that fuel Dred's rebellion, Stowe creates a figure far different from the acquiescent Christian martyr Uncle Tom. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his introduction to the classic novel, Robert S. Levine outlines the antislavery debates in which Stowe had become deeply involved before and during her writing of \u003ci\u003eDred\u003c\/i\u003e. Levine shows that in addition to its significance in literary history, the novel remains relevant to present-day discussions of cross-racial perspectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Beecher Stowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807856857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStowe, Harriet Beecher:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was a novelist, essayist, and short-story writer best known for her first novel, \u003ci\u003eUncle Tom's Cabin\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40161670070387,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_91fc7baf-7aa6-4a54-a4ec-4aee25e20310.jpg?v=1654955901","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/dred-a-tale-of-the-great-dismal-swamp-9780807856857","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
