Synopsis

How Slave Narratives Influenced American Literature: A Source for Herman Melville's Billy Budd

Review

"[In] eschew[ing] more traditional approaches to the intersection between the literature and the law in this maritime tale and to focus on the ethoi of forgiveness and agape... Jorif offers us a contrapuntal approach to the usual history of slavery and law in early modern America." - Prof. Jon-Christian Suggs The City University of New York "... magnificently bundles together American freedoms, human rights, racial oppression, sexual exploitation, torture, and Christian love in a paradoxical compendium of literary analysis linking Melville, Douglass, and Stowe." - Prof. Francis N. Elmi Borough of Manhattan Community College"
