"Like Gory Spectres": Representing Evil in Theodore Weld's "American Slavery as It Is."
Browne, Stephen
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v80 n3 p277-92 Aug 1994
Discusses Theodore Weld's "American Slavery As It Is," the largest selling antislavery text prior to "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Argues that it signaled a key moment in the abolitionist's efforts to represent slavery. Maintains that it helped to set in place a vocabulary of images that has implications for race relations today. (SR)
