Plagiarism. 520 $a "As nearly all of its reviewers pointed out, Clotel was an audience-minded performance, an effort to capitalize on the post-Uncle Tom's Cabin "mania" for abolitionist fiction in Great Britain, where William Wells Brown lived between 1849 and 1854. The novel tells the story of Clotel and Althesa, the fictional daughters of Thomas Jefferson and his mixed-race slave. Like the popular and entertaining public lectures that Brown gave in England and America, Clotel is a series of startling, attention-grabbing narrative "attractions." Brown creates in this novel a delivery system for these attractions, in an effort to draw as many readers as possible towards anti-slavery and anti-racist causes. Rough, studded with caricatures, and intimate with the racism it ironizes, Clotel is still capable of creating a potent mix of discomfort and delight. This edition aims to makes it possible to read Clotel in something like its original cultural context. Working Geoffrey Sanborn's Introduction discusses Brown's extensive plagiarism of other authors in composing Clotel, as well as his narrative strategies in the novel."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jefferson, Thomas, $d 1743-1826 $x Relations with women $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Jefferson, Thomas, $d 1743-1826. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040754 650 0 $a African American families. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of presidents $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Illegitimate children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women slaves $v Fiction. 650 7 $a African American families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799152 650 7 $a Children of presidents $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855493 650 7 $a Illegitimate children $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967203 650 7 $a Racially mixed people $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086595 650 7 $a Relations with women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354410 650 7 $a Women slaves $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178532 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sanborn, Geoffrey, $e editor. 830 0 $a Broadview editions. 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20181218010138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1FCA05E029211E9995FCDF696128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
