The stage was a vital force in nineteenth-century America-especially in the debates over slavery and race. This Toby anthology brings together, for the first time, a selection of plays that shaped the ways in which the drama of slavery was performed in the American theatre. From Susanna Rowson's 1794 Slaves in Algiers to M.C. Brown's 1894 The Landlord's Revenge; or Uncle Tom up to Date; from Lydia Maria Child's ardently abolitionist The Stars and Stripes to George Aiken's blatantly opportunistic Uncle Tom's Cabin, and from former slave William Wells Brown's The Escape to racist, pro-slavery minstrel texts, this anthology allows readers to see how Americans from diverse backgrounds and standpoints staged slavery. It also offers important but hard-to-find plays-some of which appear here for the first time since their initial publication. Professor Eric Gardner's opening essay and his introductions to the individual plays offer a rich sense of the historical, biographical, socio-political, and literary contexts surrounding the drama of slavery in America.
