[A] compelling study. . . . A rich and important study of the
complex cross-fertilizations that occurred in antebellum culture.
"Journal of American Studies" 'Levine s analysis . . . is inventive
and at times provocative. . . . This is an inventive take on the
ways in which political views are forged and recast in the crucible
of political agitation."--###Journal of American History# 'With its
powerful style and exemplary documentation this book must be
counted among the most important contributions to Delany
scholarship in many years."--###American Historical Review#
"Fascinating. . . . Through careful research, Levine restores
Delany to his hard-won rank as a 'representative man' for the
African American race."--###Choice# "Levine's ###Martin R. Delany#
will stand as the definitive collection for some time to come. It
provides a plethora of previously unavailable material about the
life of this controversial leader. . . . Delany, as Levine's work
shows us, was a complex figure whose life embraced the full gamut
of nineteenth-century American thought."--###Pennsylvania Magazine
of History and Biography# "This book is the fullest and richest
direct comparison to date of the literary careers of Frederick
Douglass and Martin Delany, and it lays a new foundation for the
comparative study of literary black abolitionism. Levine makes an
intriguing case that Delany belongs with Douglass on equal footing
within the canon of the American Renaissance. He also demonstrates
the mutual influence of Delany, Douglass, and Harriet Beecher
Stowe, offering a convincing defense of Stowe as an
anti-racist."--David W. Blight, Amherst College "Using a wide array
of important documents, Robert Levine's excellent new book on
Douglass and Delany opens to view a revealing relationship in
antebellum culture and will be welcomed by literary critics and
historians alike."--Eric Sundquist, University of California, Los
Angeles
