5.0 out of 5 stars
A Classic of 19th Century American Social Perceptions,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The White Slave: Another Picture of Slave Life in America (Paperback)
Familiarity with Hildreth's novel is a prerequisite window into 19th century perceptions of slavery. Taken from that point of view the work is a document which explains much about the times. For the literary minded, this anything but an out-dated example of what we now call "historical fiction." Taken in the context of one's choice, this book is a powerful statement of humanity in the face of seemingly all-powerful human institutions and ideologies which, in fact, are ephemeral in the course of history.
