In <i>Dred</i> (1856), Stowe attempts to explore the issue of slavery from an African American perspective.<p>Through 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.<p>In his introduction to the novel, Robert S. Levine outlines the contemporary antislavery debates in which Stowe had become deeply involved before and during her writing of <i>Dred</i>. In addition to its significance in literary history, the novel remains relevant, Levine argues, to present discussions of cross-racial perspectives. 1417229 1967 Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp total:21|5:6|4:6|3:5|2:4| 21 77 31 5 5 0 false false Wed May 21 15:39:15 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 14:44:17 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 15:39:15 -0700 2008 "As air and heat and water all have a benevolent tendency to enter and fill up a vacuum,...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 17:58:36 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 18:00:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Tue May 20 16:49:17 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 17:50:45 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 16:36:36 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 15:37:22 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jan 22 07:44:02 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 07:44:35 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 08:29:35 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 08:29:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 17:05:16 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 17:05:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 29 10:28:59 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 10:28:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 04 04:10:44 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 04:10:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 18:20:46 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 06 13:40:59 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 17 18:20:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 08 18:22:41 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 18:22:41 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 09 10:38:25 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 10:38:25 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Dec 02 15:52:31 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 15:52:34 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Dec 02 08:43:12 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 08:43:12 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Nov 02 05:49:10 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 05:49:10 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 18 02:52:46 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 02:52:46 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 23 16:10:15 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 16:10:15 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri May 16 13:09:24 -0700 2008 Fri May 16 13:09:24 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Sat Apr 05 14:52:18 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 14:52:18 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Feb 24 10:15:53 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 10:15:58 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=123984
