Indeed, William Lloyd Garrison was dragged through the streets by a Boston mob before a planned lecture, and publisher Elijah P. Lovejoy was fatally shot while defending his press from rioters. Since poetry formed a part of the cultural, political, and emotional lives of readers, it held remarkable persuasive power. Yet antislavery poems have been less studied than the activist editorials and novels of the time. In Lyrical Liberators, Monica Pelaez draws on unprecedented archival research to recover these poems from the periodicals-Garrison's Liberator, Frederick Douglass's North Star, and six others-in which they originally appeared. The poems are arranged by theme over thirteen chapters, a number that represents the amendment that finally abolished slavery in 1865. The book collects and annotates works by critically acclaimed writers, commercially successful scribes, and minority voices including those of African Americans and women. There is no other book like this. Sweeping in scope and passionate in its execution, Lyrical Liberators is indispensable for scholars and teachers of American literature and history, and stands as a testimony to the power of a free press in the face of injustice Geschichte 1831-1865 gnd Abolitionismus (DE-588)4302520-1 gnd Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 gnd Abolitionists Poetry American poetry 19th century Antislavery movements United States Poetry Slavery United States Poetry Abolitionismus (Motiv) (DE-588)103733177X gnd USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd Anthologie gnd-content Pelaez Monica (DE-588)1162143983 Herausgeber edt BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 zbzmon201808f stad zbzswk201808g voge idszbz Z2 Stoppsignal FRED 26.09.2018 nebis DS NAB Z01 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 35163 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH AOe 43785 NELA1001809 IDSBB A192 A192 192N4 ENG Cd III 53 NELA1921809 IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RFA 92488 NELB4001901 NEBIS 700 1- Pelaez Monica (DE-588)1162143983 Herausgeber edt IDSBB 700 1- Pelaez Monica (DE-588)1162143983 Herausgeber edt NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-0-8214-2279-3_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006747349/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 528773097
