The Making of Racial Sentiment: Slavery and the Birth of The Frontier Romance - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Tawil, Ezra (Associate Professor, Columbia University, New York)
The frontier novel of white-Indian conflict formed an apt analogy for the problem of slavery. By uncovering the sentimental aspects of this genre, Ezra Tawil reveals the influence of the 'Indian novel' of the 1820s on the sentimental novel of slavery, producing a new way of reading Uncle Tom's Cabin.
