Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Frankfeldt, Gwen - Design (illustrator). Eighth Printing. 306 Pages Indexed. Light wear to cover edges and corners. Interior text pages are tight and flawless. No marks or stamps. Harriet A. Jacobs was born a slave in North Carolina in 1813 and became a fugitive in the 1830s. She recorded her triumphant struggle for freedom in an autobiography that was published pseudonymously in 1861. As Linda Brent, the book's heroine and narrator, Jacobs recounts the history of her family: a remarkable grandmother who hid her from her master for seven years; a brother who escaped and spoke out for abolition; her two children, whom she rescued and sent north. She recalls the degradation of slavery and the special sexual oppression she found as a slave woman: the master who was determined to make her his concubine, his jealous wife, the future congressman who fathered her children but broke his promise to set them free. She also portrays a supportive black community, both slave and free, and sympathetic whites: a slavemistress who sheltered her; the northern woman who employed her, helped her avoid capture, and eventually bought her freedom; the abolitionist-feminist friend who encouraged her to write her autobiography; and Lydia Maria Child, the well-known writer who donated her services as editor. This boo is the major antebellum autobiography of a black woman. With Frederick Douglass's account of his life, it is one of the two archetypes in the genre of the slave narrative. In this fully realized edition, editor Jean Fagan Yellin identifies the people and places that Jacobs wrote about, presents new materials about Jacobs and her manuscript, including photographs and a selection of Jacobs's letters, and locates the book in relation to other literature. Yellin does full justice at last to this splendid and moving work, a classic of American history and literature, of women's writing, and of the Afro-American experience.

He also explores the regulation of literature by the law of defamation, of obscenity, and of copyright. Posner mines literature for jurisprudential insights.". First Printing of the First Edition.

near fine dust-jacket, cover price $29.95, fresh attractive dark gray half-cloth with dark blue boards, appears unused. PURDY, JEDEDIAH. After nature: a politics for the anthropocene. Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2015, stated First Printing, . "Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. Henceforth, the world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists have called this new planetary epoch the Anthropocene, the age of Humans.The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is planetary engineering without design. These facts of the Anthropocene are scientific, but its shape and meaning are question for politics - a politics that does not yet exist. 'After Nature' develops a politics for the post-natural world. Jedediah Purdy begins with a history of how Americans have shaped their landscapes. He explores the competing traditions that still infuse environmental law and culture - a frontier vision of settlement and development, a wilderness-seeking Romanticism, a utilitarian attitude that tries to manage nature for human benefit, and a twentieth-century ecological view. These traditions are ways of seeing the world and humans' place in it. They are also modes of lawmaking that inscribe ideal visions on the earth itself. Each has shaped landscapes that make its vision of nature real, from wilderness to farmland to suburbs - opening some new ways of living on the earth while foreclosing others. The Anthropocene demands that we draw on all these legacies and go beyond them. With human and environmental fates now inseparable, environmental politics will become either more deeply democratic or more unequal and inhumane. Where nothing is pure, we must create ways to rally devotion to a damaged and ever-changing world". ISBN 9780674368224.
