Former owners' names written on endpapers of Vol. II. Blindstamping still quite distinct and fresh. Uncommon. A major, albeit forgotten mid-19th century abolitionist novel on race and gender by a white female American author. In Mulattas and Mestizas Suzanne Bost call sit "a sentimental tragedy of a light-skinned woman from the Caribbean island of Santa Cruz," noting that the author "uses U.S standards of black-white racial separation in her depiction of European and Caribbean race dynamics. Since Zoe [as a "quadroon"] is neither black nor white, she has no place in a system based on rigid divisions of color," hence her tragic, Christlike end.
