This book argues that Parkerâs radical vision and contemporary appeal stemmed from his abiding faith in the human conscience and in the principles of the American revolutionary tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeed’s is the first complete life study of Parker to appear in many decades. Teed shows readers the full sweep of Parker’s remarkable career and his wide range as a thinker....Teed is the first biographer to recognize Parker’s important role in the antislavery movement as a mediator between the contentious Garrisonian and other political factions; the first to look dispassionately at Parker’s growing support for antislavery violence in the 1850s; the first to deal forthrightly with Parker’s racial theories and his sometimes shockingly racist pronouncements; the first to look critically at Parker’s ideas about gender and women’s rights; and the first to take seriously Parker’s reaction—which shaped his later theology—against the philosophical atheism of Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach. * Journal of American History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Introduction 1. “Bred Up Amid the Memories” 2.
