Paperback. Condition: New. "M.W. Gibbs recalls a life of myriad transformations-from a youth of poverty to success in gold rush California to election as the first black municipal judge in America to service as the American consul to Madagascar. And Gibbs tells it all with a verve and candor. It is an autobiography worthy of its… subject-and just as much worth reading today as when it was first published in 1902."-Tom W. DillardShadow and Light: An Autobiography (1902) is an astonishingly rich historical document from one of the most exceptional pioneers in nineteen-century America. Mifflin Wistar Gibbs's account of his towering success as an African American businessman, newspaper owner, judge, and diplomat is a voluminous narrative of one man's triumph despite the staggering racial inequalities of the time.Born into a free black family in Philadelphia in 1823, the young Mifflin Wistar Gibbs demonstrated a precociousness as a writer and orator as young as 16 years old. Although involved in the black literary and political scenes in Philadelphia, Gibbs was disillusioned with the city's racial inequality; He subsequently became involved in abolitionist activities, and was an active participant in the Underground Railroad. In his late 2o's he was invited by Fredrick Douglas to speak on an abolitionist lecture circuit throughout New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In 1850 Gibbs left for the west to seek a fortune in the California gold rush. By the late 1850's he had built a successful business, and eventually established two black-owned newspapers in the Bay Area. When new discriminatory laws were passed in California, Gibbs moved to Victoria, where he became extremely successful as a businessman and a leader of the black community. Once the civil war had ended, he returned to the United States where he earned a law degree, moved to the south, and by 1873 had become the first African American elected as a municipal judge. From his beginning as a fatherless boy, to his post as an American diplomat, Shadow and Light is a stirring testament to the achievements of an extraordinary American pioneer.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Shadow and Light: An Autobiography is both modern and readable.

"Unabridged republication of the work originally published by E. P. Dutton in 1913." nice…clean used copy. good binding. clean text. no library markings, store stamps, stickers, bookplates, no names, inking , underlining, remainder markings etc ~. vii+312p. medieval literature. mythology. folklore. fairy tales. knights of the round table. ~ Although he didn't invent the Round Table or the tales of its fellowship, the twelfth~century poet Chrétien de Troyes was the first to recount in verse the adventures of Arthur's knights. He is also chiefly responsible for establishing the importance of the Arthurian legend in European literature and assuring its survival into modern times. This sensitive translation of Chrétien's verse narratives features four romances, including those of Erec and Enide, Cligés, Yvain, and Lancelot. Erec and Enide's tale illustrates how honor can be restored to a troubled relationship through acts of public duty. Cligés' tale involves a forbidden relationship, in which a knight falls in love with his queenwho is also his uncle's wife. The story of Yvain explores the effects of long~term absence on a questing knight's marriage. Lancelot's adventure, the rescue of Guinevere, is Chrétien's enduring contribution to the tradition of Arthurian myth. The version included is a principal source of Mallory's popular Le Morte d'Arthur. Lively and accessible, these four romances form the most complete expression of the ideals of French chivalry by a single author.
