- catalog abstract ""During the 1850s, African-Americans and others active in the campaign to abolish slavery journeyed to England to present the slave experience and rouse opposition to American slavery. By focusing on Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, an anonymous sequel to that novel - Uncle Tom in England - and John Brown's Slave Life in Georgia, and the lecture tours of free blacks and ex-slaves, Fisch follows the discourse of American abolitionism as it moved across the Atlantic and was re-shaped by domestic Victorian debates about popular culture and taste, the worker versus the slave, popular education, and working-class self-improvement. Despite its popular appeal, she claims, the African-American abolitionist campaign actually reenergized English nationalism. This book will be of interest to students of African-American literature, and of nineteenth-century American and English literature."--Jacket.".
