Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From the Back Cover
This stunning, provocative work is the tale of Clotelle, a beautiful mixed-race slave who claims to have been fathered by an American Senator, and her dramatic attempts to escape slavery. Emotionally powerful, with its searing portrayal of the dehumanizing effects of the slave trade in pre-Civil War America, this was the first novel published by an African-American.
Entitled Clotel: or, The President's Daughter on its initial 1853 publication (in which Thomas Jefferson is explicitly identified as the girl's father), this replica edition of the author's 1864 revision remains an innovative, challenging work that brings an immediacy to its slave auctions, family separations, and daring escapes that no history book could adequately convey.
