Publisher's Synopsis

This study considers Davis as a literary activist, showing how she fashioned contemporary narrative forms to kindle the emotive route to reform. It links America's first social realist to political expressions of grief, rage, and loss that shaped exhortations in abolitionist stories and poetry.
