Indeed, William Lloyd Garrison was dragged through the streets by a Boston mob before a planned lecture, and publisher Elijah P. Lovejoy was fatally shot while defending his press from rioters. Since poetry formed a part of the cultural, political, and emotional lives of readers, it held remarkable persuasive power. Yet antislavery poems have been less studied than the activist editorials and novels of the time. In Lyrical Liberators, Monica Pelaez draws on unprecedented archival research to recover these poems from the periodicals-Garrison's Liberator, Frederick Douglass's North Star, and six others-in which they originally appeared. The poems are arranged by theme over thirteen chapters, a number that represents the amendment that finally abolished slavery in 1865. The book collects and annotates works by critically acclaimed writers, commercially successful scribes, and minority voices including those of African Americans and women. There is no other book like this. Sweeping in scope and passionate in its execution, Lyrical Liberators is indispensable for scholars and teachers of American literature and history, and stands as a testimony to the power of a free press in the face of injustice. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Abolitionists $v Poetry. 650 7 $a Abolitionists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794478 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Antislavery movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810800 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 700 1 $a Pelaez, Monica, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502032112.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212014502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82C3F948840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
