Iola Leroy: Or Shadows Uplifted - The Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers
Frances E.W. Harper
First published in 1892, Iola Leroy was probably the best-selling novel by an African-American writer prior to the twentieth century. Frances Harper had already gained an international reputation as a writer, lecturer, and political activist when Iola Leroy-her only novel-appeared, as evident by the sizable audience she enjoyed of men and women, black and white, in the U. S., Canada, and England. Her writings reveal her in-depth knowledge ofAfrican-American literature as well as of other literatures, and through this novel we can see the preferences and aesthetic assumptions of her nineteenth-century audience.
