Deborah Anna Logan, editor of Harriet Martineau's Writings on Slavery and the American Civil War, is Assistant Professor of English at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.
"A splendid book, richly detailed and well documented. Logan builds
an excellent case for a restoration of Martineau's status as one of
the leading Victorian intellectuals and political activists."—Gayle
Graham Yates, author of Harriet Martineau on Women
"A significant contribution about a writer who is gradually but
steadily assuming a central place in nineteenth-century studies and
women's history."
-Maria Frawley, University of Delaware
