| Description: |
An examination of the influence - however contested - of John Brown of the Harper's Ferry Rebellion on the national narrative of the United States |
| Synopsis: |
The Afterlife of John Brown explores the impact of the uncompromising abolitionist John Brown since his execution in 1859. The essays in this collection examine this divisive figure, lauded as a principled hero and demonized as a home-grown terrorist. The essays trace his presence in a variety of narrative and artistic forms, including poetry, the visual arts, children's literature, biography, and political polemic. John Brown is a figure whose status within the cultural imagination of the United States has never been settled. This book is the first to explore the diversity of artistic response that such unsettling has evoked. |
