About this Item
viii, 524, 12pp. With a terminal publisher's advertisement catalogue. Original publisher's brick red cloth, stamped in gilt and blind. A trifle rubbed, marked, and sunned. Shelf-label of Dalton Hall Library and ticket of Lancaster-based bookseller T. Edmondson to FEP, blind-stamp and contemporary inked ownership inscription to head of title page. The first English edition, published in the same year as the first American edition, of Harriet Beecher Stowe's (1811-1896) second novel and spiritual successor to her phenomenally successful anti-slavery narrative Uncle Tom's Cabin (Boston, 1852). In reaction to criticism levelled by abolitionists for the passive martyrdom of Uncle Tom, the eponymous Dred is a black revolutionary who advocates violent retribution against slaveholders.
