Pia Wiegmink draws attention to locales, authors, and webs of entanglement between texts, ideas, and people. Perceived through the lens of gender and transnationalism, American antislavery literature emerges as a body of writing that presents profoundly reconfigured literary imaginations of freedom and equality in the United States prior to the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures    1 Introduction    2 Mapping the Field   1\tAbolitionist Literature Matters   2\tTransnational American Antislavery Literature   3\tAbolitionist Cosmopolitanism    3 Friends of Freedom: Female Editorship and Transatlantic Communities of Affection in The Liberty Bell   1\tAbolitionist Print Culture and Gift-Giving   2\tThe Gift Book as Chronicle of Transatlantic Affective Communities   3\tFundraising for the Cause: The Annual Boston Antislavery Fair    4 Gendered Global Geographies of American Antislavery Literature in The Liberty Bell   1\tHaiti: Edmund Quincy’s “Two Nights in St. Domingo” (1843)   2\tEgypt: Maria Lowell’s “Africa” (1849)   3\tThe United States: Elizabeth Barret Browning’s “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point” (1848)    5 Travelling Beyond the Slave Narrative: African American Women’s Autobiography   1\tRevisiting the Slave Narrative: Discourses of Travel in Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861)   2\tReports From Russia and Jamaica: Nancy Prince’s Narrative of the Life and Times of Mrs. Nancy Prince (1850)   3\tInterlude: Nancy Prince’s Travel Account The West Indies (1841)   4\tReversing Slave Itineraries: Eliza Potter’s A Hairdresser’s Experience in High Life (1859)    6 Travelling Letters of Antislavery: African American Women’s Epistolary Writing   1\tSarah Parker Remond’s Epistolary Writing on Black Freedom of Movement   2\tHarriet Jacobs’s First Public Letter (1853) and Women’s Transatlantic Antislavery Epistolary Battles    7 Antislavery, Immigration, and German American Women’s Literature   1\tAlexander von Humboldt, Carl Schutz’ “True Americanism” (1859), and German American Abolitionist Self-Fashioning   2\tGerman Antislavery Sentiments and the Cult of German Womanhood in America: Talvj’s The Exiles (1852)   3\tGerman American Utopian Communities: Mathilde Franziska Anneke’s “Uhland in Texas” (1866)   4\tCoda: Ottilie Assing’s Writings on Frederick Douglass    8 Conclusion    Works Cited  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210848592215,"sku":"9789004520929","price":140.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/abolitionist-cosmopolitanism-reconfiguring-gender-race-and-nation-in-american-antislavery-literature-9789004520929","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
